CURED TENDERLOIN
Curing meat can be simple and very healthy, especially if you don't have a big house with a barn, smoker and so on.
I will use the example of pork tenderloin, but you can apply the same principle to duck breast and some cuts of beef.
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins
- 2 kg salt
- Spices
Directions
- I had two pieces of pork tenderloin, about 1.1 kg in total, and gave them a wash. I then cleaned a few pieces with a knife, and I dried them a bit with some paper towels before burying them in almost 2 kg of salt. Don’t let any part go without salt. Now you put them between 12 and 18 hours in the fridge, overnight, oraccording to your available time. If you like it a bit saltier, go towards 18 hours.
- The next day, take the meat out of the salt, wash the extra salt off with cold water and dry it with paper towels. One of them I made with a generous quantity of sweet paprika, well “massaged”. The other one, with a mix of herbs and spices (herbes provençale, cumin, dried basil, freshly ground black pepper, some dried chilli, etc.) and some fresh rosemary. Use whatever you like.
- Pack them in regular baking paper, leave them for 3 weeks in the fridge, and that’s it. Bon appétit!
