Lomo

The day finally arrived that my long awaited lomo reached 35% loss :drool:

Started with this nice loin from my recent hog aquisition

Seasoned and vac packed

Cased, Hung and pricked all over...into the cabinet for a very long time

The finished product

The verdict? The flavours are very subtle and the texture is sublime.....if sliced thinly enough it just melts in your mouth. Surprisingly there is very little heat from the red pepper. Although i've never tried a Lomo before so i dont really have a point of reference.

Next time i think i will use a beef bung and up the spices a little

Meanwhile....my first coppa just went into the cabinet;

Fantastic. What casing did you use? Would you dry it any further (even if the wait might kill you)?
Fashionably late will be stylishly hungry.

Hi Paul,
It was an artificial casing and I wouldn't do it again....Had to prick it all over for moisture transfer and it is really hard to remove prior to eating.
As mentioned..i dont really have any reference to what a Lomo should actually be...I really like that it all but dissolves in my mouth, the flavors are subtle, but there. I'm certainly enjoying it, just not sure if it is authentic.
How did yours turn out?

Looks good to me! What did you use for spices?
My first was with salt, sugar, black pepper and garlic and I was real happy with it
