Rustic Wedding Pork salad with onions

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a rustic wedding salad? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose pork that is not greasy, without bones and streaks. If the meat is frozen, put it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and in no case defrost it in warm water or a microwave oven. This will spoil the structure and taste of the meat.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour water into a saucepan, put the meat washed in cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and add a little salt. Turn down the heat and cook for 35-40 minutes, removing the foam. The meat should be cooked, but remain dense. The main thing is not to digest it, otherwise you will not be able to cut it later. Cool it in the broth or put the meat in a bag, tie it up and leave it to cool completely, so it will not get wet. Cut it into strips about one centimeter thick.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the chopped meat in a bowl and add the onion, cut into thin rings.

4. Step 4:

   

   For the marinade, mix boiled, cold water and vinegar, add sugar. You can take any vinegar, I prefer grape.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put salt in the marinade. Take a large salt, as you can easily over-salt with a small one.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the marinade. The main thing is that it should be refined, otherwise it will kill all tastes, ordinary or olive oil is perfect. If desired, you can add a little chili pepper.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the marinade into a bowl with meat and onion, mix. Close and put away in the cold for 10 hours, stirring occasionally.

9. Step 8:

   

   Chop the parsley and add to the salad, mix. It can be added immediately at the beginning of pickling, but the greens will not look very appetizing, so I prefer to add before serving. Transfer the salad to a plate and garnish. Usually it's just onion rings, but then the salad will look too faded. So I decorated it with red onion rings and added some cranberries. They perfectly complemented the salad.
