DUCK SALAMI


THESE DUCK BREASTS (HUNG TO DRY IN MY BROOKLYN GARDEN FLOOR BATHROOM SHOWER) TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY. THE SALAMI IS DELICIOUS AND DESTINED FOR THE WILLIAM BROWN PIZZA OVEN.

What was your curing recipe? Looks similar to the duck prosciutto I made following the recipe in Ruhlman's Charcuterie book.

Thanks for the recipe. Is there oil involved at all? There appears to be oil in the pics.

NO FAT... THAT IS THE MOISTURE FROM THE DUCK BREAST AFTER CURING.
