Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Shred the cabbage finely and mix it with the tomatoes, onion, vinegar, lime juice and salt.
Leave the curtido to pickle at least an hour, stirring it now and then.
Cut the pork skin into squares, salt it and leave it twenty minutes.
Render the skin in its own fat over a low heat for forty minutes.
Raise the heat and fry ten minutes more, until the crackling puffs and turns crisp.
Boil the cassava in salted water until tender, having cut out the woody core.
Lay the cassava on a banana leaf, the curtido over it and the crackling on top, with the chilli.
