INGREDIENTS
This will make 4-5 x decent size Pitina. The night before you make this chop the garlic so you have 2-3 large pieces and put in the wine to infuse overnight.

900g of lean meat (I like a mix of 600g of pork loin and 300g of lamb)
100g of pork fat
30g of sea salt (3% of the weight of meat)
1 tsp of black peppercorns
1 tsp of ground pepper
1 tsp of fennel seeds (OPTIONAL)
1/2 glass of red wine
1 clove of garlic
​Polenta

*We make our own informed choice on the use of additional nitrates and curing salts. If you choose to use these - swap the 3% in salt to 2.5% salt and 0.25% Instacure #2 / Prague Powder #2.
