How do you make salami

The preparation works in the same way as in the basic recipe. Your salami is spoiled if it is greasy and has a sour smell. Also, if greenish mold is visible, it is beyond saving.

If you see that your salami is moldy, you can wash it with a little vinegar water.

You can repeat this process more often if necessary. If you do not have the necessary knowledge and equipment you should never do it without cure otherwise your salami will spoil due to the rapid growth of bad bacteria.

Same ingredients different cooking technique: Wrap each half of the two pounds of meat mixture in the foil - not particularly water proof either just snug enough to give it a shape - and then let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours. After at least 24 hours place it in a deep pan I used a stock pot cover both logs with cold water bring it to a boil.
