Baked Salami Recipes

BAKED SALAMI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Partially slice the salami into 1/4-inch thick slices, making sure the cuts do not go all the way through. Place the salami into the prepared baking dish, and bake for 1 hour. Drain off the grease.
• Mix the barbecue sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Pour about 2 cups of the sauce over the salami, and retain the rest for basting. Return the salami to the oven and bake for 45 minutes more, basting occasionally with the reserved sauce. Serve on a platter with a knife so guests can cut their own slices.

BAKED SALAMI

Steps:

• Slice salami about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick (your preference), but not all the way through.
• Leave it intact enough at the bottom so it will hold together.
• Top with the Marmalade and Dijon mustard.
• Enough to cover the whole top of the salami.
• Wrap in foil and bake in a slow oven for 4 hours.
• Once plated, cut through the salami leaving sandwich size pieces but the presentation should still look like a whole salami.

BAKED SALAMI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275?. In a small sauce pan, over medium heat, combine mustard and jam. Stir constantly until mixture is well combines and bubbly. Place salami on wire rack on a cookie sheet. (Hint: Spray the cookie sheet with non-stick baking spray for easier clean-up.) Make 6-8 diagonal slits in the top of the salami. This will let the fat drip out and marinade drip in during baking. Brush mustard mixture onto salami. Bake for 4-5 hours, basting every 45 minutes to an hour. Slice and serve with mustard for dipping and crackers.

SALAMI CRISPS WITH SOUR CREAM AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with aluminum foil. Arrange the salami in a single layer over the baking sheets. Bake until the salami slices are amber brown, watching closely to ensure they brown evenly, about 15 minutes. Transfer the salami crisps to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to absorb the excess oil. Set aside to cool.
• Spoon a dollop of sour cream on top of each salami crisp. Sprinkle the basil over and serve.
• Do-Ahead Tip: The salami crisps can be made 8 hours ahead. Store in airtight containers and keep at room temperature.

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Make a few slits in the bottom of the roll to allow the fat to drain when cooking. Place roll onto a broiler pan, and fill the bottom part of the pan with about 1 inch of water to keep the salami moist.
