Salami Crisps Recipes

SALAMI CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the salami slices on a baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each slice. Bake until the edges are crispy and stiff, about 10 minutes. Transfer the salami chips to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess fat. Serve immediately or store, refrigerated, in an airtight container.

SALAMI CRISPS

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 325°F.
• Arrange salami slices in 1 layer on 2 large baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until edges are crisp and beginning to curl, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer slices to a rack to cool. (They will crisp as they cool.)

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.

HONEY BUTTER POTATO CHIP TOWER WITH CRISPY SALAMI

Steps:

• Place potato chips in a large bowl. Working in batches if needed, cook salami in a single layer in a dry large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally with tongs and reducing heat to medium-low to prevent burning if needed, until crisp, about 5 minutes per batch. Add salami to potato chips and toss gently to combine.
• Add honey, butter, cayenne, and 1 tsp. black pepper to fat in skillet. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until butter is melted and mixture is bubbling vigorously, about 3 minutes.
• Drizzle half of honey butter over chip mixture and toss with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to combine. Drizzle remaining honey butter over and toss again until honey butter evenly coats chips and salami. Pile chip mixture in a shallow bowl or on a large plate to build a mound as high as you can go. Sprinkle with sea salt and more black pepper.

CREAMY PASTA WITH CRISPY SALAMI

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs and Parmesan in a large bowl. Cut salami into 1/2-inch strips. Heat a skillet over medium-high, then coat with olive oil. Cook salami and garlic until salami is crisp. Cook spaghetti; before draining, reserve 1 cup pasta water. Add hot pasta to egg mixture, along with garlic and half the salami. Toss, adding enough pasta water to coat pasta in a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve topped with a sprinkle of parsley and remaining salami.

SALAMI CHEESE CRISPS

Steps:

• Place 2 meat pieces, 1/4 cup cheese and 1 Tbsp. chilies on half of each tortilla; fold tortilla over to enclose filling.
• Melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add 2 of the tortillas; cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until tortillas are lightly browned on both sides and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining 2 tortillas.
• Cut in half to serve.

SALAMI CHIPS WITH GRAINY MUSTARD DIP

Steps:

• To make the dip, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and grainy mustard in a small serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to serve, ideally at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set 2 oven racks at the centermost positions.
• Lay the salami slices out in a single layer on the baking sheets. Bake until they are evenly browned and rigid, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool. The salami will crisp further as it cools.
• Arrange the salami chips in a bowl or on a plate, with the dip alongside.
