The extra seasoning sure sounds good CRG.  Nice job rolling up the logs.  I've ordered some of that seasoning stuff and can't wait to try it.

And I quote

Sure does say it will.

8 or 9 salami packets..  And one of their bologna mix as well.
I'll tinker a bit, and put a post up this weekend.

Thanks CRG!

Some of MrsSTC's teacher friends are having us over this Saturday for Italian and cocktails..   
They requested turkey MOINKs.   I think I'll make one of these as well, with a Tuscan spin!

That salami is going to Mississippi with me.

That's good!

CRG,
That looks really good man.  I am impressed with how you can make those logs so uniform in appearance.  Would you mind to over those steps again?

After I add all the ingredients in I re weigh the total of the meat and divide by two and take out that much salami.

Lay a piece of Saran Wrap on the counter and take 1/2 of the mix and hand form a log on one end of the wrap.

You need to leave an inch or so from the ends and roll it up.

Tie off one end (I used bread ties).

Then start squeezing the other end down to get all the air out.

I squeeze and give it a roll and then squeeze again.

Tie it off and fridge it.

158* would have probably gone lower with venison, but this was a shoulder roast I ground up.
Title: Re: Grannie LaMure's Salami with some Kick!
Post by: squirtthecat on January 26, 2010, 09:07:38 AM

Thanks.

I'm going to go with 1/2 lean grnd beef and 1/2 ground pork mixed together.   I'll shoot for that same IT.
Title: Re: Grannie LaMure's Salami with some Kick!
Post by: KyNola on January 26, 2010, 09:55:08 AM
Mine came off at 152.  I was using 80/20 GB and was concerned that if I went any higher I might render all of the fat out.

Title: Re: Grannie LaMure's Salami with some Kick!
Post by: classicrockgriller on January 26, 2010, 10:01:54 AM
I have done probably a dozen of these and I found by bringing up the IT a little, they hold together better when you slice them.

You also need to pack them tight to get the air out of the mix.
Title: Re: Grannie LaMure's Salami with some Kick!
Post by: KyNola on January 26, 2010, 11:39:57 AM
Thanks for the tip CRG.  I'll do that with my next batch.

See I told you would be making us jealous with the sausage.  ::)

Lookin good.

I roll up my fatties kinda the same way as you stated using plastic wrap.

Deciding what to make and put in the fattie is harder than the weave.  ;D

Or the last tue of the month.

Give me a few min to pull up the pics of the weave.

Bacon weave 101
First let the bacon get close to room temp, much easer to work with.

Thanks OU.  Very helpful.  I just bought four pound sirloin steaks on sale.  I think one is going to get ground for a fatty.  The others will likely go into a few spicenslice loaves.

It is good and it's easy.

My wife has started informing me when we are out.

We like salami, crackers, mustard, hot sauce, dill pickle slices, cheese, jalapeno olives, pepperoncini.

We make a meal of that one nite a week.

I took some to work today and it was vacuumed up within an hour..

96% lean GB, chopped olives & banana peppers, Mrs Dash garlic blend, and a 1/3rd cup of red wine.   Tasty!


CRG, this might take it to the next level (dump into food processor for a bit)!

Well you might have a recipe from the Gods there.

Actually what I was referring to was:

Cracker, then mustard, then slice of salami, then hot sauce, then cheese, then pickle slice.

Pepperoncini and jalapeno olives on the side.

But I like your idea better.

Will be easier to get in my mouth! ;D

Doing some Grandma's this weekend as well.  Not sure what type of meat to try with the bologna and salami going myself.  Not sure what type of meat to use.  Probably try a batch of ground beef, ground pork, and ground turkey for comparison.  Wondering if a mix of GM and pork would be better.
