Salumi Subs on the Panini Press....

[indaswamp]

Still have a large stash of salumi and salami that need to be eaten. I was anticipating many large get togethers like normal, but since Covid those have been few and far between. So.....we did Salumi Subs at the firehouse tonight.

Copious Black pepper Coppa,

Mountain of Milano,
Pile of Pepperoni,
Volume of Vicentina.
Cluster of Calabrese,

also had Provalone and Parmesan Cheese, olive oil, red wine vinegar, green olives, and mayo...

I heated up some homemade marinara to dip the subs in...

The Plate:

Since I had the slicer out, figured I'd try making some homemade potato chips. Big fail. Either grease was too hot (350*F) , or I sliced the chips too thick. Definitely need some pointers there to figure out what I did wrong. But the guys did not complain. It was a heavy meal....very good.

Outstanding spread put out for folks to DIY their sandwiches to taste from, hot homemade marinara dipping sauce is an excellent touch! Bravo!

That looks great, I could go for a couple subs, than a nice nap.

With a spread like that I might have to volunteer.....I mean someone has to wash the trucks and sweep the floors. I'll leave the running into burning buildings to far braver folks than me.

That all looks fantastic . Nice work . You really showed your knowledge of doing this type of thing . Very nice .
I didn't look at the video , but have made a lot of chips . I slice thin as I can get and soak to get the starch out . Several changes on the water . Dry on paper towels , then a trip through the salad spinner . Cook in a cast iron skillet and season as they come out . Being thin they cook fast , and even faster as you go along .
I use my pre made sausage seasonings on some . Always a hit , but they go fast . Hard to make enough .

Wow, those cured meats are amazing, for those that do not have a panini press I have used my George Forman grill with some down pressure to make decent paninis.

Looks delicious to me!

Thanks chop. Making salumi has expanded my quest for flavor. I am amazed how a simple piece of pork can be transformed by salt, microbes, and time.

Thanks for the tips on the chips...
