Salted Belly Fat
This is an old technique used to preserve meats and fish when there was no electricity or any other method existed, some experts say it dates back to the ice age. You can do it using any kind of meat in theory and it will last for decades so I've read, so long as the meat is fully covered in salt.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
You need to get a good quality pork belly fat cut into slabs from the butchers.
- 2
You need to store it in the coolest area of your house or shed so firstly you need to find the best place to place it. Storing temperatures should be about 36f and no higher than 38f.
- 3
Then find a suitable container to store your cured pork, it should allow the meat to air dry at the same time. It should be sterilised prior to using it.
- 4
At the bottom of your container add a good layer of salt. Then add the pork and cover fully with salt. If you have more pieces ensure the salt splits the layers of meat. You must make sure that the meat is fully covered with salt.
- 5
Store for 1 month at least prior to removing it from the salt, if it's not yet cured return it to the salt for another few weeks. You can store it in the salts for a very long time I wouldn't recommend storing it for more than 1 year though.
- 6
After the curing period is over you can remove it from the salt and store it in a plastic or moisture proof paper. If it has become to salty and its for you to use in cooking you can simply place it in water for 24 hour period to remove some of the saltiness.

After this is salted it can be used to make many different recipes. Concerning Prauge Powder, It is used in cured meats to kill bacteria, prevent botulism and add flavor. However it is extremely toxic if ingested directly; in fact, it's colored pink to prevent people from mistaking it for regular salt. Do not mistake Prauge Powder with pink Himalayan salt. So use this with care in this recipe and others like this, it is very safe and necessary for proper flavor and food safety.
