Hot legs are a desirable attribute for many-a species and well-bred swine are no exception. Herb and Kathy Eckhouse take fully aged legs of Prosciutto Americano and rub them down with a balanced blend of fennel, sea salt, and red chilies that deepens the meat's earthy sweetness. The heat is subtle, and deserves to be paired with one-of-a-kind cheeses, like Mahon Curado and Zimbro. These sheep milk cheeses have extra edge that creates some complexity on the palate, especially when given a boost by the meat's chili spice. It's an ideal tapas meat to include on a spread with marcona almonds, sheep cheeses, and grilled sardines. A combination of traditional craftsmanship and regional flavor, this addition to La Quercia's line of dry cured meats exemplifies their motto: 'American made, American inspired cured meats.' We say: keep those hot legs coming our way!
Got game? We'll tell you who's got game: the gents over at Fabrique Delices who are delivering the goods when it comes to traditional French charcuterie classics like pate and saucisson. Everything they make is ground and given hands-on attention during every stage of the process' from meat selection to packaging. Their artisanal p't's are made from fresh, coarsely ground meats that are mixed with dried fruits, wine, and nuts, making for a textured, full-flavored mouthful. An excellent companion to any cheese plate, they're at their best with strong cheeses like Scharfe Maxx, Epoisses, and Mahon Curado'don't forget the Moutarde de Dijon and cornichons! For drinks, think big, bold reds.
Lean, Flavorful, Clean
They're not only large in mass, but "large" in flavor. American Elk have a varied diet that presents a lean and "earthy" meat. Including grasses, plants, and even tree bark, the collage of nutrients that sustain this hefty beast produce a flavorful and deep red protein that plays well with the upcoming fall vegetable selection. The Elk's appeal to Autumn Menus is as natural as the leaves turning. SeafoodS.com offers Elk that enables consistency in supply while preserving its natural characteristics.
