Craft exquisite cured meat right in your own kitchen! This recipe, while demanding patience, is surprisingly straightforward to execute. First, a tender cut of pork is submerged in an aromatic brine, then rubbed with a bouquet of spices, tightly wrapped in cheesecloth, and sent to the refrigerator for slow maturation. From one week to a month – the curing time depends on how dry and intense you desire the delicacy to be. Regularly check the meat to achieve the perfect texture and flavor. The result will exceed all expectations!

Begin by preparing: thoroughly wash and peel the garlic. Rinse the pork under running water and carefully pat it dry with paper towels. Prepare a pot for the marinade, a suitable container for marinating the meat, as well as cheesecloth and kitchen twine.

Add salt, sugar, bay leaf, allspice, and cloves to a saucepan. Pour in water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Then, allow the marinade to cool completely to room temperature.

Carefully remove all spices from the marinade. Pour it into a marinating container and submerge the pork piece. Seal tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refriger refrigerate for 72 hours. Remember to turn the meat several times a day to ensure even marination.

After 3 days, remove the meat from the marinade and pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a separate bowl, combine black ground pepper, coriander, paprika, and nutmeg. Add the pressed garlic to the spices. Mix well and generously rub this aromatic mixture all over the marinated piece of meat.

Wrap the pork tightly in cheesecloth, then tie it with kitchen twine to form an oblong, rounded shape. Place the meat on the top shelf of the refrigerator door for at least 7-10 days to cure.

Once the cured meat is ready, chill it, slice it thinly, and serve it with mustard or horseradish to impress your guests!
