Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Start by trimming excess fat from the pork leg, leaving a thin layer for flavor.

  2. 2

    Curing Mix

    In a bowl, mix sea salt, curing salt, crushed black peppercorns, dried thyme, and minced garlic.

  3. 3

    Curing Process

    Rub the curing mix all over the pork leg, ensuring that it gets into all crevices and is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Refrigeration

    Wrap the pork leg in plastic wrap and place it in a container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Turn the pork leg every few days.

  5. 5

    Drying

    After the curing period, remove the pork leg from the refrigerator, rinse off the curing mix, and pat dry. Hang the leg in a cool, dry place with good airflow for 2-3 months to dry.

  6. 6

    Ready to Serve

    Once dried, slice the prosciutto crudo thinly and serve as desired.
