'Ala'atila salty, mea'ai

'A'ole maopopo i ka mea i hana mua'ia e'ai i ka mea'ai, akā i kēia manawa he mea kaulana loa ia, e like me nā'ano'aha'aina like'ole, a me nā pā'ani, a me ka papa ma'amau. I kēlā manawa ho'okahi nō lākou e ho'omākaukau ai i nā'ano like'ole: pa'akai,'āhihi,'ōpē, pā.

Inā mākou e kama'ilio e pili ana i ka salo, ua ma'a ke'ano o ka ho'omākaukau no ka ho'omākaukau. Hiki i kēia ke koi aku i ka pa'akai kūikawā a me ka paina. E ho'omaka me ka mea pono e koho i kekahi'āpana,'o kēia kekahi o nā manawa nui loa. Mai koho nui i ka momona ai'ole ka momona o ka momona ('oiai, aia kēia ma kahi o ke kua o ka holoholona). Pono'o ia e palupalu,'a'ahu i ke'ano ke'oke'o a me ka'ōma'oma'o. 'O ka koho'ana o kahi'āpana me kahi papa o ka'i'o a'a'ole'ole, e hilina'i ana i nā koho kūpono.

Ma hope o ke kaikea a ua koho, ua hoʻomākaukauʻia ka paakai (e e pono lohi loa), me na mea ala, kālika, kai kūʻono lau. 'O nā mea ma'amau ma'amau no ka pihi ki'i'ana i lawe'ia i ke kīkoi ma'amau. Pono e'ōlelo'ia, ua pa'akai kelo i loko o ka pahu, ho'okomo'ia i loko o ka fīkoina, hiki iā ia ke lō'ihi i ka manawa, a hiki i ho'okahi mahina (i kekahi manawa aku), akā,'a'ole e nalo i kona mau mea'ai ho'olālā mua. Ho'okipa'ia'o Salo i loko o nā'āpana li'ili'i li'ili'i e hiki ke komo i loko o nā pahu me ka pilikia. Ho'olei'ia kēlā me kēia'āpana. E waiho'ia nā papa o ke kāleka i'ole i'ike'ia mai waho mai.

Mana'o'ia'a'ole hiki ke ho'okipa'ia ka salting,'o ka nui o ka pa'akai ka mea e pono ai. 'O ka ratio'oi loa i mana'o'ia he 4 punetēni no ka kilokilo o ka huahana. Ho'opulu'ia kēlā me kēia'āpana i ka pa'akai a me ka mea'ala o nā mea'ala (hiki ke hana i ka'ula'ula a me ka'ele'ele'ele'ele, makemake kekahi e ho'omāhuahua i nā hops-sunels a i'ole nā mea'ē a'e e'ono i'ane'i). Ho'okomo'ia nā'āpana i nā pākaukau i ho'omākaukau'ia, ma lalo o ka ho'ohemo'ia'ana o ka pa'akai me kahi laurel la'a. 'O ka pepa mua e kākau'ia ma lalo, a laila e waiho i ka'ili i ka'ili, a momona i momona. A laila, i ka huahana ua waiho no kekahi lā i mehana ea, a laila, wehe 'ia i loko o ke anu wahi. Ma hope o kekahi mau lā (e pili ana paha i 5 mau lā), i ka meli aloha,'o ka ho'omākaukau'ana he mea ma'alahi loa ia, no ka ho'ohana'ana. I mea e e mea maikaʻi, e malama i kou ono, e hiki ke uhi ia i loko o greaseproof pepa, a ua hiki ke waiho i loko o ka ia ipu, kahi e kapiia lakou a pau i ekemu ae.

Pono e'ike'ia a me ka'i'o kalo, ka mea i pa'i'ia i ke koko,'a'ole ho'i i ma'alahi ke'ano o ka papa. 'O ka mea nui ma'ane'i,'o ia ka ho'omākaukau pono'ana i ka brine. No ka hana'ana i kēia, ua ho'olapalapa'ia nā'ōmole o ka wai me ka pa'akai. No ka ho'oholo'ana i ka nui o ka pa'akai e pono ai, pono pono ke kau i kahi'ōmole i'a i loko o ka wai a ka ninini i ka pa'akai a pa'i. Ho'okomo'ia'o Salo i loko o kahi pahu me nā'āpana li'ili'i, keleka, pepa'ele'ele, waiho'ia nā pā i waena o kona mau papa. Ho'opiha'ia nā mea a pau me ka'inela momona, a laila hiki ke uhi'ia ka pahu i ka gau a waiho'ia i kahi mahana wela no kekahi mau lā. Inā makemake'ia, ho'omāhuahua i ka lālā bay, horseradish ai'ole nā mea'ala'ē a'e.

Hiki iā'oe ke kuke i ka bale bale i kalo, e like me kēia. Ho'okahi a me ka hapalua a'elua paona o ka pua'a bale e makemake i ho'okahi lita o ka wai a me kekahi aniani pa'akai. No ka ho'omaka'ana, ua ho'omākaukau'ia he māla, no ka mea, ua ninini'ia ka pa'akai i loko o ka wai paila. Ke wehe'o ia, momona'ia nā momona ma'ane'i, e'oki'ia i loko o nā'āpana li'ili'i. No ka'umi mau minuke, ua'aila'ia i ka brine, a ma hope o ka pio'ana o ke ahi, a laila e waiho nei ke momona i nā hola he 12. Ma hope o kēia manawa, huki'ia ka momona, lawe'ia ka momona i kahi li'ili'i, ua holoi'ia me nā mea'alani a me nā mea'ala, a waiho'ia no nā hola he nui i ka ho'okaumaha. He pa'akai kēia momona,'o ka mea'oi o ka wikiwiki i ka kuke'ana, a me ka kuke i nā mea'ē a'e, pono e mālama'ia i loko o ka pele pani a i'ole ke kāwele no ka mea,'a'ole hiki ke komo.

No ka'ai'ana i ka'ai, ua'oki'ia ka lauoho i loko o nā'ōmole lahilahi. Hiki iā ia ke lilo i mea'ono maika'i, maika'i nō i kahi'ao'ao o nā pāla'i'uala.
