Parmesano Bovicetta Impacchi

-

So one night feeling hungry and creative I decided to make another dish using my Bovicetta. I have made several now using this Salumi...HERE & HERE. And since I am on a Keto diet at the moment I had to make something extremely low in carbs. Cheese and Meat are the staples to a successful Keto diet.  

I made some Cheese Crisps using my favorite cheese. I used Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino, Cheddar and Jack cheese. I grated all the cheese up and added some Pepper and a touch of garlic and onion powder. Heck use what ever you want.  


Take a couple of tablespoons of the cheese mixture and place on a Silicone mat. The diameter should be about 3-4 inches and will expand a little after they are cooked. 





Bake at 400 degrees until ends are somewhat crispy.








Stuff with your favorite stuff. I used the Bovicetta, Sun-dried Tomatoes packed in olive oil, roasted Tomatoes, and pine nuts. I kept the shape simple. If you want you can roll on a dowel, a small cup to create a bowl or whatever shape you want. After it cools it will hold it shape.

Curing Notes and some Math

-

(OP-2016) I wrote this up to help you with some of my recipes. I hope these notes and links expand your knowledge of curing.  My recipes are straightforward to follow if you use the info given below. Replicating my recipes is possible because I use percentages for everything. The weight of meat plus fat is 100%, and all ingredients to be added are expressed as a percentage of the weight of the meat plus fat.  Percentages can be used to standardize recipes regardless of batch size, and all weights are metric. An online calculator is provided below.  No weights are given because the weights of meats vary. Again everything is a percentage of the meat's weight after trimming. Here is an example- Meat weight,  2393  grams, and we want to find out the amount of salt we need in grams-  2393 * 3.5%=83.755 or 2392/100 * 3.5 =83.755 grams. Or 2393 * .035 = 83.755 For most of my recipes, I use  .25%  c...

Eye-of-Round (Sous-Vide)

EYE OF ROUND- EOR  (OP- 5/2017)I've been wanting to do this for a while but prefer other cuts for roast beef (I still do). Anyhow, after reading all the pontificating posts on E-O-R, I wanted to see what all the hype was about. After making about 5 of these E-O-R's, I have dialed in what I believe is the perfect temp and time.  The T/T was selected because it provides the highest moisture retention, texture (tenderness) for slicing using a Deli-Slicer. If you plan on slicing by hand or wanted to slice very thick to serve as an entree it might not work. The E-O-R will be cooked at 128f for 24 hours and sliced on my Berkel Slicer.  (Disclaimer located at the bottom for T/T). Note: The T and T are perfectly fine. The Log Reduction is exceeded 12.  If you plan on purchasing the E-O-R at Costco or another whole seller, I will suggest buying it cryo-vacuumed-sealed. If you don't, there's a possibility that it was mechanically tenderized. I'm not against...

Burnt Ends the Sous-Vide way!!!

-

  The King of BBQ Brisket is Burnt Ends. But what are Burnt Ends? Traditional Burnt Ends are from the point of brisket. Where I live, you rarely find a whole packer (whole briskets), and when you do come across one, you're usually not in the market for one. Yes, yes, I could buy one and freeze it, but I don't like to freeze the meat. So I decided to make Burnt Ends entirely from the flat. Burnt Ends are a delectable delicacy and are prized by many if not all BBQ enthusiasts. I actually prefer Burnt Ends to BBQ brisket. Sometime during the "cook," the whole brisket is removed, and the point is separated from the flat. Traditionally the point is cubed up and doused with more spices and smoked very low and slow for a couple of more hours, and sometimes BBQ sauced is added. Burnt Ends are typically served with a little char on them with some BBQ sauce on the side or in sandwiches. I recently attended a BBQ workshop, and t...
