Ingredients to make pururuca crackling with drips:

 250 grams of pork belly

 ¾ cup of water (180 milliliters)

 ¼ cup of pinga (cachaça)

 1 tablespoon of salt

How to make pork rind with drips:

First, cut the cracklings into pieces and sprinkle with the salt. I recommend using pork belly in this recipe because it contains more fat, so your crackling is more crunchy. If you prefer pieces of bacon with more meat, use panceta.

Tip: The smaller the crackling pieces, the less time it will take to cook.

Place the bacon in a skillet or pan, add the water and the drips and bring to medium heat.

As the bacon releases its fat it will fry in it. Stir from time to time, carefully, to avoid burning. Let the bacon with drips fry until golden and crunchy.

Tip: Lightly cover the pan so the crackling does not spill any fat on all sides.

When the crackling with drips is golden, use a slotted spoon to take it to a plate with absorbent paper. Drain off the excess oil and you're done! That simple. Prepare this homemade pork rind recipe and let us know what you think in the comments. Enjoy your food!
