It is necessary
- - Pork lard - 1 kg;

Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the bacon under running water and dry it thoroughly with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine ground black pepper, paprika and salt.
Step 2
Then make several deep transverse cuts in the bacon. Rub the resulting spice mixture on all sides, paying special attention to the places in the depths of the cuts.
Step 3
Now let's prepare the marinade. Peel the garlic cloves and crush them through a press or finely chop with a knife. Chop fresh dill. After that, mix mayonnaise with garlic and dill, and then coat the lard with this mass.

While the oven is warming up, remove the bacon from the refrigerator and place it directly in the foil on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. And then send to the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Step 6
When the time is up, take out the bacon and cool it down. After that, it can be cut into pieces and served with dinner. Or make sandwiches from it and black bread, and offer them together with green onions as breakfast.
