What meat to make pastrami for Easter: tastier than baked pork
Pastrami is meat baked in a lot of spices with garlic. The texture is very tender and juicy, the taste is spicy. The peculiarity of cooking such meat is that it must be soaked in a salt solution before baking. This helps to prevent the fibers from drying out and falling apart. Turkey is best suited for such a technique.

1. You need to choose an even fillet so that it cooks evenly. Do not fit too big a piece or, on the contrary, too thin. Approximate weight of 1 kg.
2. Make a rupa - a strong salt solution: combine salt with cold water (1-1.5 liters), mix and put the meat in it. Make a few punctures with a knife, so that the meat gets better salted. Put it in the fridge for 4-5 hours.
