Instructions
- Cut the meat into long thin strips about 1 cm thick, following the grain.
- Mix the coarse salt and fine salt in a bowl and rub the strips generously.
- Lay them in a dish, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours so they salt right through.
- Drain the meat and spread it on an airy rack in a cool, dry place, or dry it for 24 to 48 hours in an open fridge.
- Melt the mutton fat over low heat and let it cool slightly.
- Coat the pieces in the melted fat, then cut them into small bites before serving.
Variations and tips
Quick version. Dry the strips in the oven at 80 °C with the door ajar for 3 hours, instead of waiting several days.
