Redutska lukanka

: food, February 23 2025 ▶

The original recipe is called "redutski babek", but to outline the difference between chopped vs. minced meat, and several other variations in the spices, I changed the name. The key ingredient is the leek. Do not be alarmed by the quantity - the result is amazing.
All reference values are for 1kg of meat.
Ingredients:
- pork neck 30%, pork leg 70%
- salt, 50-50% regular and nitrite, total of 22g
- sugar 5g
- ground cumin - 5g
- oregano - 3g
- ground black pepper - 1.5g
- the green parts of the leek - 50g
- starter culture (optional)
- sausage casings - 50mm

Preparation:
- use the 8mm or 10mm mincer disk to grind the meat
- mix it with the spices and let it rest for 24-36hours
- mix again and start filling it in the casings (I used the same mincer disk)
- put some label on 2-3 reference pieces with the date and the weight
- on day 3 and 6 press down each piece between wooden boards overnight
- dry till 50% weight loss
