Title: Pancetta
Post by: nepas on July 29, 2016, 09:10:59 PM
Making room in the freezer (again)  :D :D


Not the best looking belly for pancetta but it will work, rubbed with black pepper, crushed juniper berries, bay leaves, nutmeg, garlic, thyme, kosher and cure #2. Added just a trickle of vermouth down the middle for some extra flavor.

Zip bagged for the 7 day cure, rinse, light coating of black pepper, tie, then UMAi.

Rick,
Are you rolling the belly or leaving it flat?  I have done both.  They came out great.
