Salame dei Fichi
From deliathecrone 16 years agoIngredients
- 8 1/2 ounces dried Calmyrna figs shopping list
- 2 1/2 teaspoons currant jelly, warmed shopping list
- 1 teaspoon Sambuca Romana shopping list
- 2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon anise seed shopping list
How to make it
- The jelly should be warmed so that is is reduced to a thick syrup before you begin.
- Chop the figs very small, by hand, and add to the remaining ingredients.
- Place all in a food processor and pulse to get it to clump together only.
- Set the blended mixture on a piece of foil. Form a "sausage" of it, and let it stand on the counter, at room temperature, uncovered, for 3 to 4 days. I've put a fine linen hanky over it to keep flies away, and it works fine. You want a skin to form over it.
- Roll the "sausage" in a fig leaf (use more foil if you can't get a fig leaf), and tie it with string.
- Set this in a wooden cask to age for a month. You can also put in the refrigerator for the same time for aging.
- This recipe came from Carol Field, whom I adore.
