Directions
Armenian Basterma (Dried Cured Beef), This is Armenian cured spiced beef It is a wonderful, spicy beef jerky Serve with Pita bread and Armenian string cheese Heaven You must serve this very thinly sliced as humanly possible It is a rare delicacy , Do we have to cover the meat again at the final drying process if done in doors?, Dear Mr Marcarian,
I believe you have forgotten a very important ingredient for the making of real good chaimen and that ingredient is the powdered fenugreek commonly known as helba necessary for the chaimen, without it, you cannot really make chaimen
I love all the recipes you post and am looking forward for some more,
have a nice day,
