This is an old recipe, but I like it because it always surprises and delights my guests. In Chile, I think it is totally forgotten. Time to bring back these Jerky canapes!
Use your favorite jerky for this easy-to-make appetizer. Just pay attention to how salty it is, to begin with, and adjust the salt in the recipe accordingly.
Serve with beer or a cocktail. It is filling, so only make a few, or your guests will have no hunger for the meal. I usually add vegetables to the tray to offer something refreshing and light.
Jerky was a popular way to keep meat before refrigeration spread in Chile.
