Szalonna

Szalonna is a traditional variety of cured pork fat made by smoking pork fat and pork rind, which remains intact in the process. Most commonly, szalonna is placed on a skewer and roasted over an open fire. The dripping fat is typically collected on a piece of bread until it soaks up all of the grease.


The bread is then topped with numerous vegetables such as onions, paprika, cucumbers, and radishes. Originally, szalonna on bread was a peasant meal because fat was often frowned upon by the wealthier Hungarians.
