There is cured beef and there is cured beef. If you are lucky, you will have a local supplier that creates a naturally preserved product – a quick online search can help you find one. The macadamias in this mix, flavoured with salt and crushed coriander are a match made in heaven for cured beef, making this trail mix the perfect on-the-go snack.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup macadamias
- 1 cup cured meat good quality – such as Biltong or beef jerky
Instructions
- Heat a large heavy-based pan over high heat. Add coriander seeds and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the seeds are aromatic and start to pop a little. Remove from heat and place in a mortar and pestle. Add salt and crush the mixture until it is fine – you could also do this in a small blender.
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Place macadamias on a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes, until golden. Place in a bowl and while still warm, stir through the coriander and salt mixture. Cool completely before combining with the cured meat.
Notes
Note:
It is recommended that Biltong-style cured meat be eaten within 3 hours of being out of the refrigerator.
