Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
- Refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Put in containers and freeze with the brine.
- Just defrost to serve.
- Tip: To save space and avoid freezer burn, I freeze this overnight in shallow freezer containers. Then, defrost slighty (or dip in a hot water bath) to release the food from the container. Seal the block of frozen food in a ziplock or seal-a-meal bag, label and stack back in the freezer until ready to use. This works great for all kinds of foods!
