Getting the dry all measured out.

Top left (clockwise)
2 bay leaves (crushed)
1 tsp thyme
5 juniper berries smooshed
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tsp garlic
5 T kosher salt
3/4 tsp cure 2
2 T course black pepper
1.5 T sugar (in the middle)




All mixed together. I didnt put this in the spice mill as i want the old world look to it.




BBL with the mix applied to the meat. This will be in a vac bag and fridge to cure for 7-9 days before i put into the UMAi bag.

Rub the dry all over, inside all the folds, cuts and nooks. I did the vac sealing for the 7-9 days so the dry will stay next to the meat. UMAi bag after the cure time is over.
(Yes i know salt pulls moisture out)




Dated and weighed.

I have yet to make anything in Umai bags that didn't turn out perfect. Capicola, Lomo, Lonzino, Bresaola all just delicious using the recipes from their site. To quote Tom Petty: "The waiting is the hardest part"!

Did you trim the meat before applying the rub?

Ok 9 days.

Time to get the capicola from the cure, rinse and let stand couple hours before tying and UMAi bag. Might apply a coating of something else too.




Resting some.

After the capicola has rested and dried up some i applied a coating of smoked paprika, Let it sit for 30 mins then gently rubbed the paprika off some. Tied and ready for the UMAi bag.





OHHHH NOOOO

Wont fit into the UMAi charcuterie bag so i made my own from a UMAi brisket bag.



Dated and weighed. Now for the wait. Will weigh it again next week.
