Ingredients(for 0.1 kg)

Curing salt (0.4–0.5% nitrite)63 g

Brown sugar10 g

Garlic granules8 g

Black pepper, coarsely ground7 g

Instructions

Preparation

3 Minuten

Finely grind the dried rosemary in a mortar so it distributes evenly in the mix and does not remain too coarse.

Mixing

5 Minuten

Mix all ingredients – curing salt, sugar, garlic granules, pepper, rosemary, marjoram and paprika – in a bowl until a uniform colour and consistency is achieved.

Filling

2 Minuten

Fill the finished mix into a clean, labelled screw-top jar. Store in a dry, dark place; shelf life approximately 4 months.

Pro Tip

Dried garlic is essential here – fresh garlic would draw moisture in the mix and drastically reduce its shelf life. For even more depth, a teaspoon of smoked paprika can be added.
