Two of my neighbours make their own salami each year. As usual I received a few of their products last week with their instructions on how long to let them mature. Being of northern European extraction I have my own views on how long salami should mature and the importance of the squeeze test. I saw that one of the cryo packs is labelled "chili". I remember last year and shudder. Want it?

Salami finally ready for a taste today. Smoked half the batch using redgum and boy oh boy it tastes delish @betty boop would love to hear you thoughts on how this compares.

 

 

 

 

 

I was lucky enough yesterday to try both the smoked and unsmoked salami and I can confirm that they taste as good as they look !!

 

The use of only high quality ingredients really shines through and as a result they have a really beautiful flavour and texture. 

 

@betty boop I don't think you'll be at all disappointed if you source your salami from @Tubularbells.

@Tubularbells - looks amazing. Must sample.

 

Plenty of Chilli in this home made salami (many of you have tried it over the years). It's been too long between GTGs!

This was the last of May 2018's batch last night   The new (2019) batch is almost ready but sadly and so far not as good as last years.

 

 

Maybe we need a Salami Bar at this year's show? Oh ... too many puns there.

Anybody wish to share their Chilli Salami Recipe or a good base recipe?

But coming from a Salami Pundit, it goes without saying that they'd be tasteful and above board?

This rocked up yesterday,  yeah im getting lazy in my old age.

Sure thing. Here's my basic recipe from 3 years ago but have been playing around with it a bit since then. Only rule is the 2.6-3% salt and acid (wine and/or paprika relish) to keep it safe from dangerous bacteria whilst it cures. Ready when it loses about 25-30% of its original weight and can put just about anything else in there in terms of spices.

 

    •    2.3kg pounds pork (mix of 2 shoulder and neck)
    •    50 grams (about 3 tablespoons) kosher salt
    •    20 grams brown sugar
    •    1 tablespoon garlic powder
    •    1 tablespoon Fennel seed
    •    2 tablespoons ground black pepper
    •    1 teaspoon cayenne
    •    1 tablespoons hot smoked paprika
    •    2 tablespoons sweet paprika
    •    3 tablespoons crushed chilli flakes
    •    1/4 cup Paprika Relish Hot (Marco Polo brand)
    •    1/3 cup red wine (Jacobs Creek double barrel)
 

Thanks Doug for reminding me of my childhood. (Yes sarcastic tone)

 

Ordering a whole pig from a farmer, and having to cut it all up by hand. (No machines in those days, and us kids were cheap labor also).

Nothing was scrapped. Every little bit used. The variety of products that came out of the shed that weekend was mind-blowing.

And no-one got sick either.

 

Between that, making sauce, bread, pasta, pickling vegetables, wine-making, olive pressing, etc, etc,   -just another reason to be teased for being a w*g at school.

Thanks @Tubularbells for the recipe.  I am going to construct a drying cabinet as we are never going to get cool enough in Brisbane to open are dry.  Need to read some more as to whether to have both humidification and dehumidification.  Would be nice to have it controlled by hygrometer, but, may end up manipulating humidity with rock salt for dehydration and salt water for hydration.

 

First run I am actually going to use "Banquet Bags" and cure in the fridge.  Not authentic but safe!

Made 72 salami's yesterday just in time to test the new cold smoke generator "smokai" I recieved today using some cherry wood. Bit of a jerry rig right now just to try it out and yeah I know salami isn't traditionally smoked but hey I like smoke...

what are you doing with all these salami's !

 

are they being re purposed for the good of the community or just test subjects only in the interests of science  

Don't worry @betty boop I got you covered.

Checking out @Tubularbells chilli salami...two versions one smoked one not.

 

 

not too sure on the smoked vs non smoked, as not sure enough difference to bother, but very much like either overall. I reckon could up the chilli easily though ! so pretty close to there I think

 

also got to see the Devi'ls Grill in action ! wow what a setup !  really quite something. certainly doesnt hold back TB not only in effort or ingredients  

@Tubularbells - selling it? We didn't make salami this year given it's a massive family event and COVID-19 says no.

our local market salami guy I mentioned earlier in this thread, has become a regular, so been buying bit of below (hot and spicy mettwurst) as we need.... its VERY good ! he also does an even spicier buffalo one ... but not tried that yet !

 

 

 

Mr Bells i haven't had the good fortune to catch any of his later batches

 

enjoyed last lot he had, beauty with his stuff it doesn't have the additives most including above tend to use ...

I might have a stick or 3 spare ?

 

This was a batch I made on June 8th from a recipe from an old Italian nonna  and is an extremely basic (but good) chilli version. Not legally allowed to sell to the public though as this one is free from Nitrites or any other nasty  preservatives using the old salt (3%) & acid (paprika relish) technique for the curing process. but am happy to hand out some samples to those in need.

 

If anyone lives in, or is passing through, East Gippsland, I can reccomend David Luckes Fresh Food Market in Bairnsdale.

I lived across the river from this place, they have their own in-house butchers and smallgoods makers.

Their salami is great and they have a chili and a hot chili version, both excellent.

Down on the Peninsula, we've got some choices. Tully's on Moorooduc Highway, or Cibo in our local village. Don't have to go much further afield than that.
