Yes I made that name up, sorta.
After watching the video by Two guys and a cooler called, salami di fileto I became interested, not so much in the recipe they made but just the process
that they used. Then I started thinking why not use my two favorite pizza toppings, Canadian bacon and pepperoni, to make a salami. So here is what I came up with.
To start I made some Canadian bacon using my standard dry rub recipe except I used cure #2 to accommodate for the drying process.
Then I made a batch of pepperoni, for this I used my regular pepperoni recipe but added some Calabrian pepper sauce to spice it up a bit.
I cut and trimmed the filets so they were approximately 1” in dia. and about 10” long.
to give the salamis about a 1/2” outer crust I used 13 oz of meat paste flattened out on a silicone sheet to about 3 1/2” x 10”
next I added the filet and rolled them up.
after they were rolled I temporarily wrapped them in plastic wrap to help hold the shape for easier handling.
then wrap with collagen sheets,
and net.
here are all three of them ready for the chamber.
they turned out to be approximately 2” in dia. so they shouldn’t take to long to cure.
I will post more once they are done.
