    IT'S TIIIIIIMMME!!!!!!! FINALLY BUILDING MY REVERSE FLOW!!

    First attempt at duck prosciutto

    Inspired by "Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking and Curing" by Brian Polcyn and Michael Ruhlman, I decided to make some duck prosciutto. The simplest dry-cured meat, right? I picked up two (half) breasts - moulard magret from D'Artagnan. I had some plastic containers that came from our...
