This is the best Brine I have ever come across. No Longer sure where. (America's Test Kitchen?) It only requires 10 mintues prep and 2 hours in the Fridge and is worth every minute! :-) Ingredients:
3/4 cup kosher salt |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon peppercorn |
1 tablespoon dry mustard (colemann's) |
2 cups apple cider vinegar |
1 lb ice cube (3 cups) |
Directions:
1. Combine all, except ice and meat. You will have enough brine for 5 thick chops. (1-1/2 Inch thick each).
2. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.
3. Add the ice cubes and stir until almost all are melted.
4. Place in a ceramic dish or heavy freezer bag.
5. Add your meat. be sure it is covered.
6. Refrigerate NO MORE than 2 HOURS!
7. Rinse well. Dry well.
8. Cook as desired. No extra seasoning needed. :-).
9. ** For the apple cider vinegar try to buy BRAG ORGANIC-UNFILTERED . Most stores have it, for sure your Health Food Store.
