2. Now rub the meat on all sides with the spice and salt mixture. It’s convenient to do this on a sheet of parchment paper. First sprinkle a little on the sheet, then place the meat on top. Rub on all sides and roll it in the mixture so the seasonings are evenly distributed.

5. Tie the cheesecloth tightly with strong thread and find a convenient cold place where the meat can be hung. If using a container, place it in the refrigerator (turn the piece over daily so it cures evenly). After 10 days, move the meat to a warm place so it dries out.
