Lime Biltong

[Tamar]

Summer is coming (despite the snow here today) so inspired by an absence of Lime Doritos in Morrisons, I decided to try lime biltong.

Roe haunch strips; Normal rub (salt, black & white pepper, brown sugar and ground corriander) plus the zest of lime grated into the mix; Marinade in lime juice, rather than vinegar (I used the Jif Lime equivalent rather than squeeze it myself). 24hr marinade then dust with ground corrander & black pepper).

First batch finished this morning. It's a winner!!

Enjoy in the sun with a bottle of Corona

How you curing it.
Light bulb and fan method?

Into the airing cupboard and out again before my wife notices! 24 hours does it perfectly.

That sounds like a recipe I need to try!

Ditto, I'm going to have to try this one. I have a stack of limes that were destined for G&T!

Hi Tamar what heating have you in you airing cupboar,is it an immersion or a gas boiler? bazil

 

[Tamar]

The estate we're on runs a bimass boiler and the airing cupboard in our cottage just holds a HW cylinder. At a previous house, I dried biltong over the oil CH boiler in the garage so it got both a breeze and some warmth (inefficient boiler!!).

so if I read this correctly you apply the rub before the sitting in Lime?
I always do a vinegar bath first, then the rub. I wonder if it makes a material difference.

I sprinkle a layer of rub on the base of a plastic tray, then lay on the meat, then a table spoon of lime/vinegar, then another layer of rub, then a layer of meat etc etc. building up a 'sandwich' of rub/meat/acid, which I leave in fridge for <24 hrs . Also, I don't rub in the rub, just sprinkle it on.

That sounds like a really interesting variation. being in Somerset its always cider vinegar for me normally, but will give that a go for sure. Ive just taken a batch out the dryer as it happens, lovely stuff!
