INSTRUCTIONS
Cut meat into 20 strips, each about 3- by 1- by 1/2-inch. Combine salt
and garlic and rub into meat. Stack meat in bowl, cover and
refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Dry meat with paper towel when ready
to cook. Combine red pepper flakes, coriander and cumin with vinegar
and rub into meat. Set meat on wire rack over jelly roll pan to catch
drips. Bake at 175 degrees until dry but still supple, 4 to 8 hours,
depending on density of meat. Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil in
9-inch skillet and melt meat fat, if using. When hot, add meat and fry
until all slices are crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat
and allow fat and meat to cool to room temperature. Place meat in
clean dry jar and strain fat over top. Top with about 3/4 cup oil and
store in refrigerator. Yields Each piece: 63 calories; 1081 mg sodium;
