🇺🇦 Ukraine recipe
Salo
Salo is perhaps the most iconic Ukrainian food, a national treasure that has been celebrated in songs, poetry, and even festivals. At its essence, it is cured pork fatback transformed through salt, garlic, and time into a silky, melt-on-the-tongue delicacy. Sliced paper-thin and served on dark rye bread with mustard and raw garlic, salo is an experience that every visitor to Ukraine must have.
