This was FABULOUS and completely demolished within minutes as an appetizer for 6 people at Thanksgiving. I was asked for the recipe and told I have to make it again for upcoming holidays and other events. I served it with some baguette slices brushed with olive oil, garlic powder and some crushed rosemary. SO good!! Thank you for the recipe!

[@GeorgeWestfall]

Why did you bring this into my life? Thought I would just make a batch this morning to take for Thanksgiving at my sisters; now I have to make a second batch. Really, really good.

[@thomasdunmore9080]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am the only person in the family who loves Salami. I now buy 1/2 pound of Salami and it sits in the refrigerator for days. I have come to realize that if my family doesn't know what something is, when they taste it and it is good, they will eat it. You have given me another way to get my family to eat something I know they will like, once it is tried. I believe I can change a thing a two and they will learn to love Salami.

[@terrylogginss]

Watch your cholesterol sir. I love it as well.

[@vietdoan4517]

Wish you and a guy above me all tbe best. Salami is fking awesome. And hell yeah , cholesterol is BS . I prefer eat good more than look good.

[@woodlandsdrinkslngr]

Chef John!!!! Why did it take soooo long to find you, just last week, I've been watching food blogs Forever!!! Been in the restaurant business for 30 years, and I can truly say you have taught me sooo much and inspired me. I would like to humbly request Carne Guisada. My all time Mexican dish. I'd like to see your version and try it. Much love and new found fan from The Woodlands, Texas.

[@jamesdooling4139]

I have to send my husband to work Friday with an appetizer for Italian 'culture day.' I usually send vegan stuff -- not because we are, but because I know those poor pitiful souls typically get left out of party planning in Texas. This time, they're SOL. I'm sending this. Cheers! The hardest part will be grill toasting all that bread!

[@KyleOfCanada]

If you're anticipating Italians there, you may want to consider sticking with a non-meat appetizer for Friday; most Italians are Catholic and ought to be abstaining from meats on Fridays anyways. That being said, this spread does look (and I'm sure tastes) wonderful. All the best!

About 35yrs ago I got the bright idea to add this to my classic Marinara and kick it up a notch. What it did was create a legend _ my now famous (In our family) 'Magic Marinara' that makes any recipe taste better. Known far and wide as the best thing Evah! I make it in big batches and freeze it so its always on hand to use with Pasta, seafood, Pizza, lasagna, everything.

[@13Luk6iul]

My parents once brought tthis spread from their vocation in calabria. I found it in the fridge and fell instantly in love!

[@Reckec]

I have got to stop watching your vids in the middle of the night. I get so hungry and having had this before, but it's been a while, my mouth starts watering. I can not eat at 2 AM in the morning... Anymore,... After tonight. Now where did I put that Italian bread, ham and swiss cheese...

[@dirtysanchez941]

I made this last weekend- gone in about 15 minutes! Make at least 2 batches or your guests will be upset. This is dangerously delish. Thank you Chef!!

[@tamaster3567]

I'm Italian and all I can say is that this is one of the most accurate "quick nduja" recipes around. My only question is: why not using lard (or as we call it Strutto) instead of butter? For all the rest, absolutely great. I might even actually make this.

[@oiyabastard7275]

I'm Italian I never even heard it sounds like it's an Indian thing

[@HeroOfCows]

Robin Betts Not that I've seen. Kinda pricey online too

[@KirkHMiller]

I don't know, Chef John... I am getting heartburn just watching this.

[@buddhatbay9041]

I've been wanting to make this for some time and finally got around to doing it. Super simple to make. Now, I have made nduja and except for the odd hunk of salami that I found when spreading this, one would be hard pressed to tell it from the real thing. I did make one slight addition. I found a jar of smoked hot paprika, so given that nduja is often cold smoked, I added about a tablespoon of the smoked paprika. This an excellent appetizer and I will definitely be making this again. Thanks Chef John....always enjoy watching your videos!!

[@DanielSosnoski]

I made it, following these instructions to the letter. Right out of the food processor, it's delicious. Now it's tightly sealed in the fridge getting the overnight rest. My plan is to store half in the fridge, and make small patties to freeze for later. First recipe will be plain on toast, then mixed with scrambled eggs.

[@danm2419]

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this recipe pop up. I've been using it on pizza for a while now, but never knew if I was pronouncing it correctly. I guess I got lucky. I must try making this. It's just bonkers on pizza, but I wince every time I pay about $10 for a tiny tube of it. Thanks, Chef. You rock!

Heartburn is a funny thing. Had them back when I was in a stressful job and drinked + smoked. Now I dont drink and took 2 weeks carnivore - diet and ate only meat and fat, a lot of it. Heartburns are mere a memory. I still smoke, a lot less though.

[@sophien5416]

Thank you! I tried Nduja for the first time a couple years ago, buy its no longer sold at my grocery store. So I'm definitely trying this recipe!

[@matthewreilly7890]

😢

[@JimIBobIJones]

Thank you for this recipe! Nduja is an essential ingredient of one of my favourtie dishes and is ridiculously expensive in the UK. One supermarket chain stocks it at reasonable prices, but only in very, very few of its stores (none in the city I now live in) and online it costs an arm and a leg.

[@cyndifoore7743]

Another one I need to try!!!! My church picnic will be my test group for new recipes ❤️

[@arthas640]

church picnics are the best test audience. They're used to bland midwestern and deli foods, so anything fancy will make you an instant celebrity. I brought some homemade Thai green papaya salad with prawns (som tom/som tum) to my grandpas church BBQ a couple years ago and they still ask for the recipe.

[@Bedevere]

Saw the title and couldn't wait to try this. AWESOME! Also that pig table cloth....

[@wolfman011000]

As i can not stand olive oil or at least what passes for it in the UK, i modded your recipe and used lard and butter. It worked well for me at least and the family really liked it, I now make a fresh batch each week while eating the batch produced the previous week. One thing i tried was adding it to sauces and it worked really well IMHO, especially if you make the sauce the day before the flavours meddle and mature. Thanks for the recipe take care and God bless.

[@jeffward1106]

Great work! 2nd to last pic of toast with scrambled eggs made me drool.

The Italian deli/market/restaurant that I work at just started carrying these Calabrian peppers! They’re delicious, and probably about the same heat level as a jalapeño. It just so happens we also sell all the ingredients (minus the butter). Looks like I’ll be trying this soon

Chef John, this looks amazing! My family doesn’t particularly go for the spicy food, but I was wondering if I could swap out roasted garlic cloves for the chilis? That seems like it would be a good flavor. What do you think? Either way, great job as always! Thank you!

[@iian_]

Reminds me of a family thing my mom would make called pizza burgers. Salami, pepper jack, bologna, mozzarella all ground by hand through a hand cranked grinder ( important for the right texture) combine with pizza sauce and spread on top of some shitty white bread buns. bake at 375 for 9-13 min and they are fucking amazing.

[@romasandmo]

Wow! Your thumbnail game has improved massively recently! Am I supposed to be licking the screen? Chef John, could you make something Lithuanian? The easiest thing to make would be Cold Beetle Soup, but it does requires kefir, which I think is hard to come by in the USA. If you can't, then Zeppelins would great. I am 100 percent sure you would be able to make your own awesome version of it!

[@Margar02]

Kefir is not hard to come by! Know most major full-service supermarkets, and even ALDI (although they don't carry plain on a regular basis) has it. Fermented things have become more popular lately, like kombucha, beer, yogurt, sauerkraut, and pickles

Hey, this is something to the Spanish Sobrasada. Almost the same thing. It is cured raw with paprika, pepper, salt, and peppers. It is cured in an intestine, hung to cure, and then served with toast with red wine. Sobrasada is really spread not sliced. Either way, this version looks delicious.

I made this spread for Thanksgiving and it went over very well. I made it in a smaller food processor than the one you used, Chef John, and even after all the blending, additions of oil and butter, the spread seemed a bit "grainy". Is that because I the food processor bowl was too small or the salami texture? Thanks for all your videos I'm enjoying cooking much more after watching the videos.
