And here's the collab video I did for his channel, in which I show 4 recipes from my "Avocados" cookbook! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUG1soj9bfM

A good beginner's meat is duck meat, which he uses here.

First, trim it. Then cover it in salt and let sit for 1 day -- that'll pull out a lot of moisture. The next day, get as much salt off of it as you can. Then spice it to your liking (see video for Mike's spice mixture) -- sprinkle the spices on the duck and cover nicely. Wrap it with a cheesecloth and tie a string around it, shaping it.
Now, weigh it. Calculate what 35% of it would be, and subtract that number from the original weight -- that's your goal weight! So you'll hang it in your fridge until it reaches that weight. Then it's ready to eat!

It's that simple! There is another method, and it's call the EQ method: after you trim the meat, weight it and calculate what 3% of it's weight would be and add that amount in salt. Vacuum seal it and put it in your refrigerator for 5-10 days.
