Usually, the main product for a sandwich is sausage and cheese. And why not try to cook the main product yourself? Homemade pastrami is a great replacement for store-bought sausages. Delicious, fragrant, juicy, it is good not only for a sandwich but also in slicing.
Ingredients:
1 kg of turkey fillet
3-4 cloves of garlic
for saline solution:
1 liter of water
2 tablespoons salt
for the marinade:
3 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons French mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground pepper mixture (black, white, red, fragrant)
Preparation:
Rinse turkey fillets in running water.
Prepare the saline solution, immerse the fillet in it so that it is completely covered with liquid, and stand for at least 2 hours.
Peel the garlic and cut it into slices.
Remove the prepared fillet from the salt solution, dry it, make punctures in it with a knife and stuff it with garlic.
Combine the oil with the French mustard, add the soy sauce, paprika, and pepper mixture and mix well. Coat the fillets with marinade on all sides and leave for up to half an hour.
Place the pastrami in a preheated oven to 250 ° C and bake for 15 minutes, then turn off the oven and, without opening the door, keep the fillets to cool completely (at least 2 hours).
On a side note:
It is very convenient to soak turkey fillets in saline solution, and coming home from work, put to bake at bedtime, and leave the pastrami in the oven until morning.
In the same way, you can cook pastrami and chicken fillet.
Change the composition of the marinade depending on your taste preferences, adding rosemary, thyme, marjoram, basil, coriander, cloves, curry, turmeric, nutmeg. For a special spiciness, add a few tablespoons of honey to the marinade.
Pastora will be a good alternative to boiled sausage in Olivier and boiled chicken in salads.
