Crispy Fried Bacon (Сало)

Prepare Pork Fat Rinse the pork fat with cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.

Cut into Strips Cut the pork fat into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Season the Strips In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the pork fat strips and rub it in to ensure each piece is well coated.

Preheat the Pan Place a large frying pan over medium heat and let it preheat for a few minutes.

Cook the Pork Fat Once the pan is preheated, place the seasoned pork fat strips in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the strips are golden brown and crisp. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your pan.

Remove from Pan Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the crispy fried bacon strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve Serve the crispy fried bacon (Сало) as a snack or accompaniment to your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
