Salo-Solomka | Cured Pork Fat | 1lb

Salo is the Ukrainian cured pork fat and is the ultimate national food of Ukraine. Salo is one of those national dishes that has a slightly different recipe in every household. Every family in Ukraine makes salo their own way following a recipe that has been secretly passed inside the family from father to son for multiple generations. Traditionally, salo makes a great accompaniment to Borscht. If you don’t have borscht, you can simply serve salo with some rye bread and vodka. And you can feel good about it because in Soviet Ukraine salo cures you! The key in making good salo is very good and very fresh piece of pork fat from a trusted source. Don’t bother making this with an off-the-shelf grocery piece.
