Dried meat"Khlii"

Here is a recipe that, eventhough delicious, has almost completely disappeared amongst jewish families.It requires a lenghty preparation and modern life conditions are not keen on drying meat on our balconies. The health department would surely be alerted by your neighbors. And on at dietary level,this recipe wouuldn't be ideal since it is cooked in animal fat. But it is a recipe that should be preserved. It used to be the base for numerous moroccan dishes and was especially handy for traveling. It is a meat that is prepared when the UV index is pretty high,ideal conditions for drying meat.
