Neither Nancy nor I are fond of chicken breast meat but it seems to be attached to the chicken so we take it when we buy a whole chicken.
One of the premiere recipes for chicken breast is Chicken Cordon Bleu. Which is a chicken breast flattened and filled with a good slice of ham and some good...

I am after some ideas for using aromatics in curing some guanciale. I am killing a couple of pigs tomorrow and normally just keep the cheek meat for braising and give the rest of the head away to a customer. Would have loved to do a headcheese or terrine but im not going to have enough time. Then i...

I would not overdo it with seasonings just so that the quality pork flavour still comes through. Chris is absolutely correct! It seems like everyone must find this out for themselves. I recommend a shake of salt and two shakes of pepper. That's all. Let the natural flavor of the pork come through....

So, I know this cut of meat is more commonly used for grinding for sausages and other dried products, but I'm wondering how it would fair being cured and then dried like a Lonzino? It's much fattier of course than the loin, but it's just got me wondering what it would be like. Has anyone ever done...

Hi Guys. Just a quick question. I have a couple of frozen and vacuumed packed pork scotch fillets (the whole muscle at top of shoulder) also known as the coppa that were frozen on the day they were butchered. I would like to cure one or both in an Italian style coppa and was wondering if using...

Was a 22 solid. It has gone through the head and into the beginning of the shoulder. Have to use a hollow point next time.

Never been a big fan of pancetta. Always thought it was boring. Pretty enough I'll admit but it just never hit me as something I cared much for but I got the urge to try something different. To correct the oversight of the eye-tallians.
Started with a basic dry cure recipe but after curing and...

No! Wait! Wallpaper paste is much smoother. ...uh, has much different mouth feel. (...but whatever happened to taste?)

Jerky
Hi Smoke Addicts!
Do you love good jerky as much as most folks do? Have you priced it in the stores lately? Making good jerky is so simple, it`s a shame not to make and enjoy your own for a fraction of the price of an inferior store-bought product. If you have a great recipe or technique,...

Just getting back to the biltong question:
It is definitely not being cooked and nitrite is optional. It is used in a fair amount of commercial product, but not all and in general not by home makers.
Me for one have been eating it for years and in our climate we have a weight loss of 20-30 % within...

Old stomping grounds up in Buffalo. Here is an outfit 35 years ago we went here many times to buy meats, a box (40 lbs.) of chicken wings at $.19 a lb. $7.60 for a box and I see it now at over $70.00 a box. I am amazed at the products for sale. Naturally there are no prices since they change daily....

When ever I make mac and cheese I use up all of the odds and ends of for cheese in the fridge. I buy several kinds of cheese so the results are never exactly the same.

Ray I always make a medium white sauce and melt the grated cheese in that. It was to that mix that I added the bacon sausage I often have added ham. Family tradition calls for corn flakes and paprika on top and oven time until it bubbles. ;-)
