I've brought back blocks of speck from Italy. The only recipes I can find use it finely sliced, & I don't have the equipment or knife skills to do so. Can it be cubed & used as pancetta would be ? Any idea about cooking times, etc. ? Many thanks.
treat it just as you would bacon ;-) Cubed, diced, sliced.. good substitute for prosciutto, pancetta etc etc
Its naturally air cured ham, so doesn't actually need cooking ;-)
Thanks very much. You've confirmed what I thought, but I really needed to be sure.
