Cooking steps

1. Rub a piece of lard with a mixture of peppers (black, cayenne, white, aromatic, pink). It can be found in stores, or you can make it at home — even better if the pepper is freshly ground.

   Required ingredients:

   • Salo: 1 kg
   • Mix of peppers: 15 g

2. Fill a five-liter pot with cold water. Add salt and stir. Place a piece of fat at the bottom of the pot, cover it with a deep plate, and cover the pot with a lid.

   Required ingredients:

   • Coarse salt: 6 tablespoons
   • Salo: 1 kg

3. Place the pot in the refrigerator for five days. After this time, take the lard out of the water and pat it dry with a napkin. Store the prepared lard in the freezer.
