Ukrainian Pork Lard (Salo) with Brine, Garlic and Coriander
For centuries the Slavs eat lard prepared in different variations - salty, fried, boiled or baked. It was always thought that a piece of lard on the table was a sign of wealth in the family, and therefore on the eve of Orthodox holidays our ancestors tried to salt lard so that it was stored for longer and was very tasty. Lard with garlic is perhaps the most ancient combination that can only be in Ukrainian traditional cuisine, which means we will continue this wonderful culinary custom and prepare lard in brine with garlic and seasonings. Why exactly in brine because lard turns out tastier. Find out why in our step-by-step recipe with photos!

2. When the water with spices heats to a warm state, add salt. Stirring and dissolving salt crystals let’s bring the brine to active boiling. Separately let me tell you about brine and why lard in brine turns out gentler. The fact is that if in your lard there is at least the smallest meat layer, in case of dry salting it will become very hard, because salt deprives it of all moisture. Therefore dry salting is acceptable more for lard from full fat mass, but prepared in salt water belly bacon and "meat" lard turn out much softer!
