And this is just dried meat, but so fragrant, spicy, salty and incredibly delicious — you'll just lick your fingers! Basturma was made from horse meat, beef - the recipe came to us from the distant life of nomadic peoples. They eat basturma, slicing it into very thin plastics - because it is salty! A lot of spicy aromatic spices are put in the basturma, which is why it is so spicy, and the process of drying meat in the sun makes the spices even sharper. This method of harvesting meat was the most affordable in a hot climate, because basturma is a national dish of Central Asian, Turkish and Caucasian cuisines.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 10 d

To cook basturma at home, you need to take a good pork, cut off excess fat, and then put it in a pre-prepared brine: boil water and dissolve salt in it, cool. Put the meat in the brine in the refrigerator for 2 days.
Then drain the brine, pat the meat with a paper towel and rub with a mixture of spices, rubbing them well. Wrap the meat in gauze, tie it with twine and hang it in a ventilated place for a week: under the ceiling on the veranda, on the balcony. As soon as it matures, you can try - usually the meat has a hard crust on top, and soft inside, you can dry it to the desired consistency.
Try it, it's delicious!
