Questions about Italian pork salami
How much Italian pork salami is a typical serving?
A few thin slices, about 28 g, make a typical portion. Pair them with bread, fruit or vegetables rather than eating straight from the packet.
Can you fry Italian pork salami?
Yes. Slice it thinly and fry in a dry pan over a medium heat for about 2–3 minutes, turning once, until the edges curl and crisp; it releases plenty of its own fat. Add it to eggs, pasta or a toasted sandwich.
How should you store Italian pork salami after opening?
Wrap a cut salami tightly or put it in a sealed container and refrigerate it. Keep sliced salami chilled and use it within a few days; discard it if it develops an unusual smell, sliminess or mould that is not part of its original curing.
What goes well with Italian pork salami?
Its savoury, peppery flavour works with sharp cheeses, olives, pickled vegetables and crusty bread. Use a few slices on pizza, in a toasted sandwich or on an antipasto board.
Can you eat Italian pork salami without cooking it?
Ready-to-eat Italian pork salami is cured and can be eaten straight from the packet; cooking is optional. Keep it refrigerated after opening, and avoid serving whole rounds to young children because they can be a choking hazard.
