Salted Dried Meat

These are my favorite, tried and true collections of salted, spiced and dried meat. These meats are typically not cured - since they are whole muscle cuts the cure is not needed. In some cases the flavor profile will benefit from a curing salt and then it's added to the recipe even if it is an optional ingredient.

Examples of these dried meats collected from several countries are Afrikaner Biltong, Italian Mocetta, and Swedish Torkat Kött

The dried meat write ups have a ranking of complexity. The harder it is to get right, or the more special equipment and phases to run through before you have the finished product, the higher the complexity.
