  1. Mix the salt, sugar, spices and herbs and rub well into the pork loin, covering all sides. Cover with cling film and keep in the fridge for 4-5 days, turning over once a day and re-rubbing in and excess salt and spices. The cure will penetrate the meat and liquid will come out, discard the excess liquid daily.
  2. After the 4-5 days, rub off all the salt mix and dry off the cured loin.
  3. With a sharp knife, cut the rashers into the desired thickness and fry until golden.
  4. These are dry cure rashers without preservatives and will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days.  It’s best to cut the rashers as needed.
