Keta caviar – mild salting

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • Salmon or salmon trout roe (as much as you can get). From this amount:
  • Salt 5%, Potassium Sorbate 0.4%, Sodium Benzoate 0.4%
  • Ascorbic acid (citric acid), 0.1%

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

Shelf life 1 to 2 weeks

Separate the roe from the connective tissue, meticulously removing blood clots and veins, so that in the end only the loose eggs remain. They then have a very smooth consistency. The separation from the connective tissue must be done very carefully and gently. In the beginning, I grabbed a plastic pasta strainer, which was a bit rough on the inside and had rectangular holes measuring approximately 7 x 4 mm. I was always on the lookout and later found a stainless steel sieve in a catering store in the shape of a kettle with holes 6 mm in diameter. The ultimate tool. The roe is very carefully passed through this sieve by hand; the eggs must not be damaged (if you don’t have such a sieve, you can do it by hand, but it is very laborious). After this procedure, mix the cleaned eggs with the ingredients and let them mature for three days at 10 to 12 degrees Celsius. If subsequently stored at a temperature of 0 to 2 degrees Celsius, the product will keep for one week. The shelf life can be doubled by pasteurization: 12 minutes/100g mass at 84 degrees, cooling quickly, storing at 0 to 2 degrees
