Advice on amount of garlic to steep in wine for salami

Post by Indaswamp » Sun Aug 30, 2020 04:09

Can someone give me a ball park to work with here? How many crushed cloves of garlic (or grams) should I add the wine the night before to steep for inclusion in 1 kg. of salami mince the next day? Thanks in advance...I checked through the search engine here but could not find an answer. Much appreciated....

If you are adding only garlic infused wine, then you have to use a larger amount of garlic, minimum 10g per kg of meat batter. Here you will have to experiment and settle on what you like. The taste of garlic is subjective and the strength varies in the type, variety and freshness of the garlic you are using. In dry cured products, I almost always use granulated garlic at 3g/kg.
