Confessions

Our second february project is done. Bresaola!
 Dry and salty and PERFECT all by itself!  Here is a slice you can almost see through it.....

Ok...confession time.  Some of our first Charcutapalooza projects came out less than perfect.
 The duck proscuitto? It was gamey as hell and was only edible after a second 2 week stay in the wine fridge.  The Pancetta? Well, salty is not a strong enough word to describe the finished product.  It smelled beautiful, but honestly was so salty that we decided to make osmosis our friend and soak the lardons before we cooked them for the gnocchi.

But not the bresaola. It was a work of art. That is one lucky eye of round.
