Guanciale.
« on: September 10, 2023, 03:18:34 PM »

OK.  So I have a friend that comes over every Friday for dinner and we then go to an AA Meeting.  He loves an Italian dish called pasta all'amatriciana.  A dish I believe that originated in the Hills just South and East of Rome.  Usually served with a red sauce and rigatoni.  Good ole Mayberry...well you know the story.  So I decided I would make my own.  Mayberry certainly knows what Pork Cheek is, they just don't do Guanciale.  So I figured I will make my own.  I started curing this weeks ago, forgot about it, not even sure how many.  Salt, cure#1, fresh sage and rosemary.  Will now dry for about 6-8 weeks!

You might have it in time for the Fresno State Boise State game.

So is it kind of a pancetta profile?
Have absolutely no clue.

Yes, just more fat on the jowl then the belly, which is hard to believe.
