Just tried this recipe and it was amazing.

How so?

Well first, I've never eaten beef heart. So the learning began with this video on how to butcher a heart.

Had a smaller 'steak' last night and it was delicious.

Today, made the actual buger combo. Thanks to this forum - I understood the...

While attending college in the 70's we called chicken hearts poor mans steak tips (29 cents a pound).Sautéed in butter with a 20 cent box of mac and cheese was a great meal , I have always liked heart ,be it beef, venison or chicken ! :smile:

Hey, a guy with a lot of heart!

Hi,
My first Coppa at 35% weightloss with the much talked about UMAi/Tubex bags.

Taste is great, I will make some more shortly but will delete the cloves although they are not overpowering.
What amazes me is that there is no dark rim.
Another bigger Coppa started at the same time will dried to a...

There is a good venison salami here: posted by Redzed..if you dont have FLC culture it can be made with TSPX. (I am considering substituting Cumin for the cinnamon and cloves though).

And Jan there are whole muscle cultures manufactured....problem is finding a source.

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....

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...

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.

Old stomping grounds up in Buffalo.

I am amazed at the products for sale. Naturally there are no prices since they change daily....

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. ;-)
