How to dry salt lard with garlic in a saucepan

Let's dry salted lard. The salting process takes place in a saucepan under a press - this is how excess moisture comes out of the bacon, and it turns out to be harder and more dense. This recipe involves the use of a small amount of salt and will appeal to those who prefer the slightly salted option of pickling. By and large, the lard still does not "take" excess salt, but the layers of meat always run the risk of being oversalted. With the specified amount of salt, there will be no such risk.

 

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 8
We take a piece of bacon with meat layers. The abdominal area fits well. Cut off the skin immediately or leave it as desired. We rinse the selected piece well in running water. If there is surface contamination, we carefully clean them with a knife. Dry the fat with paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.
step 2 out of 8
We cut the prepared piece into small bars with an approximate weight of 200 grams.
step 3 out of 8
Pour a tablespoon of salt at the bottom of the pan, in which we will drain the bacon. It is important to clarify that coarse salt should be used. It is undesirable to take instant or iodized salt, as it gives an uncontrolled degree of salting. Put prepared pieces of bacon on salt in a saucepan. If the skin was left, then we put the fat so that it is at the bottom. Sprinkle lard on top with dill seeds.
step 4 out of 8
Peel the garlic. We cut each clove across into thin slices and put them on top of bacon with dill. Then sprinkle everything with black pepper and a tablespoon of salt. Rub salt and spices into the surface of the fat with our hands.
step 5 out of 8
Cover the bacon with an inverted flat plate of a suitable diameter. We set the load on top: a stone, a can or a bottle of liquid, etc. The weight of the load is about one kilogram. We leave the fat in such a structure at room temperature for one day.
step 6 out of 8
After the specified time has elapsed, we remove the weight and the plate. You can see that moisture has appeared at the bottom - brine. We take out pieces of bacon, wipe them off the brine, and rinse the pan and wipe dry.
step 7 out of 8
Put the bacon back in a clean pan, but with the skin facing up. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of salt. Cover with an inverted plate and put the load back on. We leave the lard to salt for another seven to ten hours.
step 8 out of 8
After that, the fat is ready to eat. We take it out of the pan, wipe it off from spices and moisture. Can be cut to serve right away, or can be put into plastic food bags and sent to the freezer. Before serving, the frozen bacon is well cut into thin slices if allowed to thaw slightly for a few minutes.

Bon Appetit!
