Kaaosteoria keittiössä

1980-luvulla kaaostutkimuksesta on muodostunut oma tieteenalansa, joka tutkii kaoottisia ilmiöitä ja niiden lainalaisuuksia. Kaaosilmiöitä esiintyy hyvin erilaisissa yhteyksissä ja ne koskettavat monia eri tieteenaloja, esimerkiksi keittotaitoa. Osa resepteistä muilta lainattuja, loput omia.

Biltong

2,5 kg (5.5 pounds) lean meat (venison, beef or ostrich)
60 ml (1/4 cup) coriander seeds
60 ml (1/4 cup) salt
15 ml (1 tablespoon) milled black pepper

Cut the meat into strips about 2 cm x 3 cm (3/4-inch x 1 1/4-inches). Roast the coriander seeds in a dry frying pan to bring out the flavour. Crush lightly with a pestle and mortar and mix with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle a little into a glass dish, top with a layer of meat strips, and season once more. Continue this way until meat and seasoning are used up. Refrigerate for a day, mixing every couple of hours so that the meat flavours evenly.

Hang up to dry in a suitable spot (high in the garage rafters or behind the fridge where there is some movement of air). Straightened paper clips make handy fasteners!

Drying time is about 5 days, depending on the weather, and whether you prefer your biltong crisp or slightly moist.
