If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

Hi Steve,
I'm getting ready to plan my next attempt at salami and like the look of your cacciatore and calabrese recipes. Just had a couple of questions:
Do you grind your black pepper or use cracked?
Also I notice that you don't use a starter culture in your Calabrese. Why would that be? Is it traditional?
And finally, what hot pepper/sweet pepper sauce did you use?
Thanks Steve

Hi Ursula
I always use cracked pepper unless a recipe calls for otherwise. This year I used Aussie Pepper which I bought when in Milawa.
I only used a starter culture in the cacciatore because a) the recipe included it and b) I wanted to make sure the couple of large ones I did cured properly and the smaller ones are ready early. I don't use any in the calabrese . It is traditionally not used plus the salami will be sweeter.
There are a couple of different sauce you can use. A photo is easier.
All the ingredients are available in Morwell at Marinos Deli in Church St. They sell bulk cracked black pepper, paprika, chilli flakes, casings, netting and the pepper sauce.

Thanks Steve,
Just preparing ingredients for 5 salamis tomorrow, and reading through Stan Marianski's book, was wondering if, when he stipulates garlic amounts if he is referring to garlic powder or fresh. My instinct would be that it is powder, but I can't find any reference in his book as to whether that is correct. Any ideas anyone?

Hi Ursula,
I have made plenty of salamis many years ago with fresh garlic, chopped very fine and garlic powder.
Now I am leaning towards stewed garlic in some water and the lot blitzed, like I do in Csabai.
Cheers,
Jan.

Thanks Jan,
Salamis are on hold for the moment. I just checked my three freezers and I'm short on pork.
Trip to the market next Friday!

I think i would go with powered garlic or stewed as Jan suggested. Be aware though that powered garlic is stronger than raw and you will need less
