Best 2 Salami Di Fichi Fig Salami Recipes

**Salami di fichi (fig salami)** is a traditional Italian dessert made with dried figs, nuts, and spices. It is a sweet and savory treat that can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert. This article provides two recipes for salami di fichi: a traditional recipe and a modern recipe.

The traditional recipe uses a mixture of dried figs, almonds, walnuts, and spices, such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. The mixture is then wrapped in fig leaves and hung to dry for several weeks. The modern recipe uses a similar mixture of ingredients, but it is cooked in a slow cooker instead of being dried. This results in a softer, more spreadable salami di fichi that can be enjoyed immediately.

Both recipes are relatively easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Salami di fichi is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

Categories appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 14 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

14 slices baguette (1/4 inch thick)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup honey
Three 2-inch strips lemon zest, removed with a peeler
1 cinnamon stick
7 dried figs, each cut into 6 pieces
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 ounces spicy Calabrian salami, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup small fresh basil leaves, optional

Steps:

For the crostini: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Brush the slices of baguette with the olive oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with the salt and bake until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the crostini to a wire rack to cool.
For the topping: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, lemon zest, cinnamon and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the figs. Allow the figs to steep for 5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the softened figs to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Add the ricotta, salt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Puree until light, fluffy and smooth.
Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the chopped salami. Cook, stirring often, until the salami is golden brown and crispy. Drain well on a paper towel-lined plate.
To assemble, spread some fig ricotta over each crostini. Top with a sprinkling of crispy salami and a few basil leaves if desired.

Time P1DT1h45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon mustard seed
2 tablespoons sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Tender Quick®)
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard seed, curing salt, black pepper and liquid smoke. Mix in the red pepper flakes if desired. Roll the mixture into a 2 inch diameter log, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
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.
Bake for 90 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from pan and cool completely before unwrapping the salami. Slice and eat as lunch meat, or serve on a tray with crackers and cheese.

Tips:

- Use high-quality figs that are ripe and flavorful. Overripe figs can make the salami too soft, while underripe figs can make it too tart. - If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before using them. - Use a variety of nuts and spices to flavor your salami. Common additions include walnuts, almonds, pistachios, fennel seeds, and anise seeds. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations. Fig salami is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. - Be patient! Fig salami takes time to cure, so don't expect to be able to eat it right away. The curing process can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months, depending on the recipe. ###

Conclusion:

Fig salami is a delicious and unique Italian delicacy that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy the flavors of fresh figs, and it is also a great conversation starter. If you are looking for a new and exciting appetizer or snack, fig salami is definitely worth a try.
