Salami cacciatore

[atomicsmoke]

I followed Len Poli's recipe (not to the dot).

3.335kg meat+fat (shoulder, beef chuck, backfat).

Used b-lc-07 for fermentation:48h at 23C.
I dipped the casings in Mold 600 solution, then the sausages again before hanging.

75% was stuffed in regular pig casing (36mm). 25% in a hog bung end so i can get a larger diameter salami).

After 18 days the weight loss for the small casing is around 38%.

I left most for more drying...felt a bit soft for our taste.

Looks great!

Flavours blend are all great. But coriander seems a bit over the top. Will use less next time.

Most of the batch is still drying.

Have you done cacciatore before? I was surprised at the intensity of the flavor. You mentioned the coriander was a little too much. I used Hank Shaw’s recipe and felt the same way about the caraway.

I've done cacciatore once before. I don't remember coriander beeing too much then (used same recipe).

Looks great to me also.

The small diameter salami is dry now....aprox 42% loss.

The large diameter casing needs another couple of weeks.
