No. 4122 — Uses for the Breast
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 4122 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Cut off the breast or brisket. Serve fresh, or salt whole in a separate barrel without cutting into portions so it does not get mixed with other parts.
Historical editorial note: The historic barrel salting is not validated preservation.
Original source: Read Russian recipe No. 4122. Historical quantities and terminology are retained. See the measurements guide. Period preparation and storage methods are not modern safety guidance.
