nut homemade meat pies

I have seen many recipes in the web of homemade vegetable nut, but I itched to do more than meat, since it is a vegetable broth very easy too fast to get, just a piece of celery, onion and carrot, and you're done, but that instead of meat is not that what we begin to make the broth with a piece of meat of any kind and that we get it in half ' hours.

In several raids in the library one day I noticed a book with the catchy title - DONE IN HOUSE - giving it a long puff I decided that was the case of restocking and give it a rightful place in my culinary library .

course that has given the coup de grace to my conviction that I had taken was just the recipe for homemade nut meat, but there are many more interesting.
After a few days once I put the recipe on site at that moment I wanted to do more, of course, the nut meat!

The procedure is not difficult, just requires a bit 'of time as described in the book should be an afternoon in the baking and drying the product, but I've changed a bit since 'the times described in the book I finished running the next day, this does not mean that you have all these hours involved, but that the drying time elaborates a bit 'more.

Ingredients: 500 gr. Beef with a slight streak of fat from your butcher ground three times, 500 gr. of salt that should not have particularly large grains otherwise then the pieces will remain in the compound and 500 gr vegetables including onions, celery, carrots, parsley, leeks or more to taste, I used two medium onions, a small leek, two carrots, a large sprig of celery leaves, a sprig of fennel Barbine and a sprig of parsley.

Preparation: Peel and chop all the vegetables, put the meat in a nonstick saucepan and let simmer without cover and moderate heat until they have expelled all their liquid, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. It will take about an hour.
When the mixture will be dry, you'll see even from the bottom of the pan where there will be no liquid, add the salt and continue to cook because the salt will expel more water and left again until you wipe the bottom of the pan . Remove from
heat and blend all finely as possible, cover a baking tray with parchment paper, spread the mixture smooth it in the back of a spoon to smooth and wet often better and give it a square shape.

Turn on the fan oven at 80 degrees and bake for an hour and a half, then remove and let cool in the oven ....

At this point the recipe and ended up switching to accommodate containers ......... but since I started in the afternoon I left to cool inside the furnace, the evening the next morning, after which everything can be cut diced or crumbled or possibly both prefer.

But I, on the morning after I removed from the oven and having cut three shares of the compound in nuts I crumbled the other hand, revived the ventilated oven at 80 degrees and put out to dry for 45 minutes .

Once again I let cool off, and I went out for a walk ;-)) in the afternoon I took the mixture until the granules and wishing I spent in a blender until obtaining a powder preparation of meat such as that you see in the picture down, and I've placed the cubes in a container holding them separate and make breaks with sheets of wax paper, sealed and hibernated ;-)
The jar of granules and some of them into cubes instead I kept in the fridge, ready to use.
The amount that I use to get a bowl of soup is about a heaping tablespoon, depending on the flavor you prefer.

Conservation: the book says in the refrigerator for no more than a week, frozen nuts instead may be taken as needed, directly from the freezer, but I waited to post just to check thing and kept in a sealed glass container, now it's been a month and I can confirm that is what is left of the pellets that the dice is still maintained very well. On the other hand I think just the amount of salt used is the natural preservative to keep them.
