Ik heb toch maar mooi geluk, dat we weer een varken laten slachten voor de verkoop van vlees. En dat nog niet alles is gereserveerd, en ik dus mooi een gedroogde 'lomo' en een 'lonzino' ga maken deze week! Een een boel worsten, en lekker wat gerookt spek. Maar daar zijn al andere topics over Ik ga hier uiteraard een boel foto's plaatsen Edit van begin 2016: omdat de recepten goed bevallen, zet ik ze hier ook even neer (ze stonden al halverwege dit topic) : Dit is het recept voor de Lomo http://www.starchefs.com/features/trends/art_and_economics_of_charcuterie/justin-everett/html/recipe-lomo-justin-everett.shtml INGREDIENTS 5 pounds pork loin 60 grams turbinado sugar 9 grams pink salt 9 grams toasted Tellicherry black peppercorns 9 grams toasted fennel seeds 9 grams toasted coriander 45 grams Kosher salt 7 grams sweet paprika 3 cloves chopped garlic 3 grams thyme leaves 3 grams cayenne pepper White vinegar METHOD Mix sugar, salt, peppercorns, fennel seeds, coriander, salt, paprika, garlic, thyme, cayenne, and coat evenly all sides of the pork loin, reserving a third of the spice mixture for a second cure. Place pork loin in a non reactive container and refrigerate for 7 days. After 7 days, apply the reserved spice mixture and refrigerate for 7 more days. Rinse the pork loin and tie with butcher twine. Store hanging at 60°F at 70% humidity for approximately 45 days. Meat should not have developed mold, but should be firm to the touch and smell sweet. Remove from storage and wipe the surface of the loin with a lint- free cloth dipped in white vinegar. Place in sealed container and store for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Makes a 1 1/2 pound cured lonzino. Prep Time: 24 days A 3 pound piece of whole pork loin or boar loin 45 grams kosher salt 15 grams sugar 5 grams InstaCure No. 2, also known as Prague Cure No. 2 10 grams black pepper 5 grams garlic powder 5 grams ground cloves 10 grams onion powder 8 grams dried thyme Mix all the dry ingredients. Rub them well into the loin, then put the meat into a plastic bag or wrap with plastic wrap. This is to keep it from drying out. Keep the meat refrigerated for 12 days. On the 12th day, remove from the wrap, rinse it off and then let it dry on a rack for 2-3 hours. I use a portable fan set on low to oscillate over the meat. Truss the meat with kitchen twine (the white stuff) as you would a roast. Leave a long loop at one end so you can hang the meat. You can also use pre-made sausage netting. Hang the meat in a cool place to dry. It needs to be humid, about 70 percent humidity. How long? At least another 12 days. It should feel firm throughout and be a pleasing red. How long can you hang it? Up to six months or more, but it will become harder and drier the longer it hangs. To store: Wrap tightly in butcher paper or, better yet, vacuum seal pieces of it – I cut the loin into three chunks – and freeze. Unfrozen, it will last indefinitely in the fridge, but it will continue to dry out. NOTE: White mold is your friend. Green mold is no fun, and black mold is dangerous. At the first sight of green or black mold, wipe down the meat with a cloth wetted with vinegar.
