Kosher dry curing

Postby jwashing » Sun Dec 24, 2017 12:09 am

Hey i want to start dry curing salami and sausages. The problem is i keep kosher which brings up alot of problems. 1 i can only use beef veal lamb or poultry no pork even for fat. 2 i can only use fibrous casings. 3 i cant find any non dairy kosher certified starter culture so i will either have to omit it or find a substitute. Anyone with any tips on how to dry cure with these conditions ur help is greatly appreciated.

Doing a quick search, I did read that Chr Hansen makes one but only sells in Israel. maybe a call to them would find you something

A know at least one member has used acidophilus tablets (ground to powder) to replace the culture. I'll leave you to sort out whether and where they fall within your faith's dietary laws.

For none pork sausages, forum member Tristar's site has great recipe's: https://nungkysman.wordpress.com/

Hi,
I made Hungarian Csabai from whole Rumps including the fat as a trial for a friend that can't eat pork either, I made about 20 kg and divided in 3 lots, fresh, smoked and smoked and dried. No culture was used and the end results were rather good. Only 0.25% cure # 1 was used in the last 2.
The smoked and dried sausages had some extra hot Hungarian Paprika and Chillie flakes added as my friend wanted to be adventurous. I'll make some more for him shortly, they didn't last long.
I smoked them with Australian hardwood chips and sawdust straight from the Mill until I got a nice brown colour.
