The usual lard can be prepared not only by the usual salting method, but also to give it an original taste and appearance.
To do this, you need a piece of thin bacon with a skin that can be easily separated from it. Two palms wide and the same length. Ruled edges are optional. The abdomen or submerged area will not work! Lard cut from the ribs is ideal.
Carefully separate the skin from the bacon. You can use a knife, but the knife should not damage the "skinned part" anywhere. Putting the future “clothes” of the delicacy aside. Until.
Rub the bacon itself with salt on both sides. There should not be a lot of salt, just a little more than for chops. Spread the bacon on the table and put the garlic cut into thin "leaves" on it. If you have herbs, sprinkle them thickly over the entire surface of the bacon with garlic. We lay out on the resulting garlic pillow, level the minced pumpkin with finely chopped onions. Add salt to taste. Pumpkin is easy to replace with regular carrots, but pumpkin is better!
We roll up the fat tucked in this way into a tight roll. If you wish, you can wrap it from corner to corner, like a croissant and wrap the resulting "croissant" with the previously removed lard skin.
Now it's time for the twine. We pull the greasy roll with twine the way a sausage is packed, not forgetting to tightly pull the “tails” of the resulting “sausage” and put it in the baking sleeve.
Lovingly put the sausage roll on a baking sheet and place in a hot oven preheated to 180 *. Time from 1, 5 to 2, 5 hours; it all depends on the thickness of the sausage roll.
We put the almost finished roll on the wire rack and leave it to "reach" in the cooling oven with the door closed. Once the oven has cooled down, the last step remains. Step from oven to refrigerator. Finally, "reach", and at the same time and cool down such a roll should be in the refrigerator! It will take another couple of hours.
Everything! The sleeve can be removed, the twine can be cut, the resulting roll will have not only a delightful aroma, gorgeous golden color, but also the most delicious taste! The best side dish for such a delicacy is black bread, boiled potatoes and, of course, green onions with tomatoes!
