Slicing options

What delicious things to prepare for the New Year 2018, so that it would be both interesting and appropriate on the festive table? Maybe a slice? We are used to buying ready-made sausage, ham, etc. in stores. What if you try to make something like this yourself, using new recipes?

Essentially, this is the same lard with meat streaks, prepared according to an Italian recipe. Pancetta takes more than one day to prepare, so it’s better to make it in advance in order to be in time for the New Year’s table.

The same brisket can be cooked faster. To do this, you need to rub it well with spices, roll it tightly into a roll, wrap it in gauze and put it in the refrigerator for a week. In this form, it turns out more tender, but without the characteristic dried taste.
