Mediterranean Meat Cheese, Fleisch Käse, Step by Step Tutorial The Germa...





Today, I will show you how to make your very own Mediterranean meatloaf 

using simple ingredients.


First, let's talk about the versatility of the Mediterranean meatloaf. 

You have the freedom to get creative and choose your own fillings. 

You can add pepperoni, zucchini, rosemary, or parmesan to make it even more flavorful.


However, if you prefer to follow a specific recipe, you can use mine as a guide. 

My recipe includes dried tomatoes, olives, mozzarella, and basil for that true Mediterranean taste.


To start, make sure you have 1 kg of base mixture. You will need 

50% pork neck (500 g),

 20% pork back bacon (200 g), 

15% lean beef (150 g), and 

15% crushed ice (150 g). 

Grind the meat using a meat grinder with a 3 mm plate. 

Repeat the process twice and freeze the meat slightly in between.


Next, let's talk about the spices. 

For every kg of base mass, you will need 

20 g of nitrite curing salt, 

3 g of cutting aid, 

2 g of onion powder, 

2 g of white pepper, 

0.75 g of mace,

 0.5 g of thyme, 

0.5 g of oregano, 

0.5 g of sweet paprika powder,

 0.25 g of cardamom, and 

0.25 g of ginger powder. 

Mix these spices well with the meat.


Now, it's time to add the insert.

This is where you can get really creative. 

I recommend using around 30% extra as an insert. In my recipe, 

I used 

100 g of firm mozzarella, 

75 g of dried tomatoes (oil drained), 

75 g of olives (be mindful of the salt content), and 

25 g of fresh basil. 

Mix these ingredients with the meat mixture.


Now, let's move on to baking.

 Preheat your oven to 180°C and bake the meatloaf for 15 minutes. 

Then reduce the temperature to 120°C and continue baking. 

The baking time will depend on the size of your mold, but as a general rule, it's 1 hour per kg.

 Alternatively, you can measure the core temperature and bake until it reaches 69-72°C.


After baking, let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the mold and serve.


Now you have your very own delicious Mediterranean meatloaf! Enjoy your meal and feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. 

Thank you for watching and happy cooking!

curing salt difference USA / German cure how to handle Video littleGasth...



Text File Video

Today we talk about curing and curing salt.

in my opinion there’s a big confusion about using
curing salt, processing meat for Sausage.

More and more people exploring the making of sausages or ham.
There are thousands of curing recipe in on the Web.
You never know who made them or where the came from
 
Different countries somtime have different codes of using curing salt.
So you should at least know the basics of curing salt mix ratio

I will try to explainThe difference between American
and German curing.

we have the pink salt number one
We forget number two for now because you don’t needed it
to make sausage

the German use pökel Salz, this just means curing salt!

Most of the curing salt a content nitride and salt sometimes like No# nitrate.

let’s start with the American pink salt number one:
this curing salt contents 6.25% of nitrate and 93.75% of Salt

I have to make something clear:
most of my recipes are using grams, so there are in metrics.

 Ok the pink salt numbers:
100 g of American pink salt content 6.25 g nitrite
100 g German curing salt content 0.4 g -0.5 g  nitrit

Here you can see the differents.
The nitrate dose is about 13 times higher
than at the German cure.

The US curing salt number one and number two
a original mend for professional use!

hundred pound of meat 4 ounce of curing salt
number one. + the amount of salt for the right taste.

And for safety reasons it’s colored pink.
So you’re not accidentally use it like regular salt.

The usual homemade recipes
is Only 5 pound of meat

so that means:
0.2 ounces pink salt number one,
+ the amount of salt for the tast.

Metric grams would be 5.66 g pink salt +
41 g of regular salt for 2.26 kg (5 Ib) of meat.

 the use of German curing salt.
This would be 20 g curing salt Per 1000 gram of meat.

 German mix ratio:
Dilute 675 g regular salt
          + 75 g pink curing Number one
That is = 0.463% nitrate

750 grams mix will be enough for 85 pounds of sausage!
You can store dry and in a airtight container.

Now you can measure the 20 g curing mix per 1000 g of meat
to make safe sausage!
You don’t need to add extra salt
20g salt is the right amount for 1000 g of sausage!

It's almost impossible to overdose,
 
because it wouldn’t taste very salty!
20g pink salt and approx  ca. 260g German curing salt
have the same amount of nitrite

♦️How to Apply cur?

Sausage air dried or cold smoked ,
Require between 18 and 20 g of curing salt.

Dry curing, Like air dried and cold smoked
ham, pork butt etc. between 35 and 40 g German cur, + spices

Wet Cured like ham, prosciutto etc. 70 - 80 g German curing
+ spices per Liter water.

The curing time is depending on the diameter of the meat.

♦️Remember! Never grill, hot smoke or BBQ, Curet Meat.
 
Curing, always using a closed food grade plastic or
stainless steel container.

Put in a refrigerator at 38 to 40°F ( 4 - 5°C )

♦️If you’re concerned about using the nitrite.

The nitride what was added to the meat
will be converted in a chemical reaction to nitric oxide. =NO

keep in mind this takes time we call it the ripening of the sausage.
This takes at least 1 to 2 days.
During This time the sausage get the typical red color.
