BILTONG
And easy Biltong recipe. Our all-time favourite snack & dash; salty, spicy, dried meat - also makes a great garnish for salads, soups and vegetables when finely shaved with a sharp knife. Creative cooks even blend it into pâté to spread on toast. Drying meat and fish was a necessary method of preservation prior to refrigeration.

Steps:
- Cut the meat into strips about 2 cm x 3 cm (3/4-inch x 1 1/4-inches). Roast the coriander seeds in a dry frying pan to bring out the flavour. Crush lightly with a pestle and mortar and mix with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle a little into a glass dish, top with a layer of meat strips, and season once more. Continue this way until meat and seasoning are used up.
- Refrigerate for a day, mixing every couple of hours so that the meat flavours evenly.
- Hang up to dry in a suitable spot (high in the garage rafters or behind the fridge where there is some movement of air). Straightened paper clips make handy fasteners!
- Drying time is about 5 days, depending on the weather, and whether you prefer your biltong crisp or slightly moist.
