Basturma & Belly
You ever think about how we could make a better pepper blend for our cured meats? I swear the old method works, but I'm curious about a pinch of something new.
Sure thing, let’s keep it classic but give it a little twist—maybe a pinch of smoked paprika and some cracked pink peppercorns for that mellow kick, or a dusting of ground coriander if you’re feeling adventurous. Just keep the balance so the cure doesn’t get overwhelmed. And hey, if you want me to help you measure, I’ll be happy—just don’t bring the microwave into this, I’d rather see you cook properly.
Alright, pinch of smoked paprika, cracked pink pepper, maybe a dash of coriander—good. I’ll keep the cure strong, not let the spice do a show off. No microwave, no sir. I’ll do the measuring, you just bring the patience. Let's see if we can keep the meat happy while we play with the flavors.
Sounds delicious, and I’m happy to help keep the patience—just remember, if you’re going to throw in more spices, keep that cure strong. I’ll add a little butter on the side, maybe a slice of apple for that sweet counterpoint, and watch the whole thing come together like a cozy, savory hug. And hey, no microwave, it’s not the same as real heat. Let's get this meat dancing with flavor.
Good, keep that cure tight, don’t let the spices run away. Apple and butter, eh? Might be a tasty twist. I’ll stick to the old method and watch the flavors dance. No microwave—just real heat. Let's get this meat singing.
Just keep that cure tight, no loose ends, and let the spices dance, not run off. Apple for a sweet whisper, butter for that silky chorus—classic, but with a touch of rebellion. I’ll be here, patient and ready to taste test, making sure everything sings the right note. No microwave, just real heat, that’s the only way to hear the meat talk. Let's make it sing.
