Surfy's Home Curing Supplies

Encountered this hairy fellow tonight.

Bumped into Ainsley Harriott this evening, what a lovely man.

Did you know?

The history of meat preservation is long and spans thousands of years and many different cultures. In Mesopotamia around 3000 BC, it was recorded that meat and fish were preserved in sesame oil, dried and salted in order to store them for when food was scarce. By 200 BC, salt curing was common in Greece and popular in the Roman Empire. Significant advancement was made by the nineteenth century to refine preserving cured meat.
Meat preservation has changed over time with the development of new technologies and methods. In the past, people used methods such as drying, salting, and smoking to preserve meat. With the advent of refrigeration, meat preservation became more efficient and allowed for longer storage times while maintaining product safety and quality. Other methods such as canning, fermenting, irradiation, and vacuum packaging have also been developed to preserve meat.

King prawn linguine. Stir fried some sliced king prawns with garlic, chilli, white wine, black pepper and a little bit of tomato. Tossed the cooked linguine through it with a little of the pasta water to keep it moist. Drizzled with some extra virgin olive oil and more fresh parsley to finish.

Tonight's dinner, porcini mushroom risotto. Sauteed some home cured, smoked pancetta with fresh mushrooms and porcini. Added chicken stock and white wine and finished with parmesan cheese and butter.

Spaghetti ai Gamberi, one of my favourite southern Italian dishes.
I used Argentinian pink shrimp, which are juicy and firm.
Cooked in olive oil with garlic, parsley, white wine, a touch of tomato and chili.

Thai red chicken curry.
No curing here, just great food

Unfortunately, due to the amount of orders currently being either rejected and returned to us, or subjected to unreasonable import taxes by customs authorities in many EU countries, we have been forced to suspend shipments to all EU countries until a solution has been found.
I'm so sorry, but this is one of the unfortunate backlashes of BREXIT.
We hope to be able to re-instate the EU service as soon as possible.

Some pork and wild boar "posh dogs"
Lovely smokey flavour with just a touch of cure to give that delicious hotdog zing we all expect from a nice long sausage.
Seasoning available soon on our website www.homecuring.co.uk

Seared sea bass fillet, with king prawns and scallops that have been poached in a garlic and caper beurre noisette. Served with sourdough bruschetta topped with baby plum tomatoes tossed in olive oil and basil and finished with a dill flower-top. , hope you've eaten 😁

Just taken a couple of these beauties out of the smoker. Cured for 10 days with our Molasses Bacon Cure, then smoked for 20 hours over a mixture of Cherry, Juniper and Olive wood dust.
Beautiful colour and smells amazing.

Arancini di riso
Traditionally made from leftover risotto and stuffed with a little ball of mozzarella, breacrumbed and deep fried.
"Arancini" translates to "little oranges"
My nonna in Amalfi used to make these when I when I came to visit. There was always a little basil leaf in the middle of each one, giving a little burst of extra loveliness
whadda you thinka?

Honouring the anniversary of D-Day today. Tonight's dinner is a proper British Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas.
During the landings, British soldiers identified themselves at night time to others in the darkness by shouting words that only other British soldiers would understand. One such was the word "Fish", to which the friendly response would be "Chips". This nation's favourite saved lives, and we are forever grateful.
Praise the fallen, we will always remember them. X

Nice little salt beef "Reuben" sandwich. Brisket, cured with our salt beef cure mix.
Delicious!

We've had a less than glowing review on Trustpilot early this morning, completely out of the blue with no previous communication or enquiry and containing some important omissions.
Now, whilst I'm more than happy to hold my hands up if we've messed up and failed to put things right, I felt this needed an appropriate reply.

A pork fillet, cured with our Chorizo sausage seasoning, I've added some of our Prague Powder #2 and increased the seasoning to bring the salt level up to around 2% so that it can be air dried.
After curing, this was cold smoked with apple and oak and then air dried for a few weeks until it lost 35% of its original weight.
Pork fillet is a VERY forgiving cut of meat for anyone wanting to try air dried meat curing for the first time.
Watch out for a video, coming soon, where I'll show you how easy it really is to do.

A 'Bury" style black pudding is incredibly low in fat and high in protein.
The white bits in a Bury pudding are actually pearl barley and NOT lumps of fat like English Black Puddings OR saturated with invisible suet like the Scots variety.
We think the Bury version is the healthiest but you can make any of them with our one easy to use pre-mix.
Every order comes with recipes and our legendary help and support.
