Hi Guys,
I am wondering if someone can help me with my dilemma. I am making pancetta and would like to hang it after a 7 day cure, so basically i would like to eat it without cooking(antipasta). The problem I have is that I have only used nitrite for the cure and I beleive for cold curing you also need nitrate. After 2 days dry curing is it too late to add nitrate? Also the only nitrate I have is mixed with nitrite so I would be almost doubling up on nitrites, will this be a problem?
Thanks
