SPICY VODKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat, add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed), and enough Butter (1 tablespoon) to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and add the Yellow Onion (1) and Water (2 tablespoon). Cook the onion low and slow for about 15 minutes until the onions are very soft, but not brown. If the onions start to brown or caramelize, lower the heat or add a little more water one tablespoon at a time.
• Once the onions are cooked, add the Vodka (1/4 cup), Calabrian Chili Paste (1 tablespoon), and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 teaspoon). Turn the heat to medium, and mix everything together. Cook until the vodka reduces by half (about 2 to 5 minutes).
• Add the San Marzano Tomatoes (2 can). Stir until everything is combined, breaking the tomatoes with the back of your spoon. Season with salt and pepper, and bring the sauce to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, partially covered.
• Take the sauce off the heat, and using a hand blender (or regular blender if you don't own a hand blender), blend the sauce until it is nice and smooth.
• Once blended, turn the heat to low and slowly stir in the Heavy Cream (1 1/2 cup), the remaining tablespoon of Butter (1 tablespoon), and a nice handful of Parmesan Cheese (to taste). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

SPICY SALAMI MOZZARELLA STICKS WITH VODKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Form the sticks: Place two slices of salami on a cutting board so that they are overlapping and slightly longer than the mozzarella stick. Wrap up the mozzarella stick so it is completely covered in the salami and transfer, seam side down, to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat wrapping the remaining mozzarella sticks with the salami. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• While the mozzarella sticks are chilling, place the flour, egg mixture and breadcrumbs in separate wide shallow containers.
• Working with one at a time, roll the mozzarella sticks in the flour and shake off any excess. Roll the sticks in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumbs. Double coat by rolling the sticks in the egg mixture and breadcrumbs a second time. Arrange on a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with all of the sticks and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Fry the sticks: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pour the oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Working in batches, carefully drop the sticks into the oil and gently "swirl" the oil so they fry more evenly on all sides. Fry until they are light to medium brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mozzarella sticks with a slotted spoon or spider and lay them out in a single layer on the wire rack. Repeat until all are cooked. Keep warm in the oven if needed.
• Serve: Serve the mozzarella sticks with warm vodka sauce for dunking.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and season with salt. Stir in the vodka, sugar and red pepper flakes and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes over high heat, stirring from time to time. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the cream. Puree in a blender until smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
