Preparation:

Step 1

You will need ordinary – fresh lard.

Cut the lard into slices slightly larger than the portions – up to 1 cm wide.

You can make them thicker – 2-3 cm or even more. But – then the cooking time for lard will be longer – about 2-3 days.

Step 2

Put in any container, glass, ceramic – not plastic.

Put a bay leaf on the bottom – depending on the quantity, 1-2 pcs.

Step 3

Sprinkle the slices with a mixture of peppers and salt.

Approximately 1 tbsp per 1 kg. salt – or to your taste. And vinegar – approximately 150-200 g.

Step 4

Prepare a marinade for lard quickly: dilute 6% vinegar with boiled and cooled water in a ratio of 1:3 – you can also use a ratio of 1:4 (for those who like a less spicy, more delicate taste).

Step 5

Pour the slices of lard with marinade so that they are completely covered.

Step 6

Cover the lard with a lid or cling film, put in the refrigerator for a day. If the slices are more than 1-2 cm – for a couple of days. At the same time, it is advisable to turn the slices over so that they marinate better.

Step 7

Remove the lard, do not wash it (we will lose the taste and acid) – just let the vinegar drain. You can dry it with a serving napkin.

If the marinated lard is not salty enough – at this stage, you can add a little salt, based on your taste.

Delicious!
