Peppered Vegan Salami Recipe
Our friend Jerry James Stone developed this creative recipe for Peppered Vegan Salami. This savory snack is the perfect addition to a graze board or vegan/vegetarian cheese board!
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb prunes
- 2 TBSP soy sauce
- 2 TBSP balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup dry marsala wine
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp anise seed
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp tomato powder
- 1/4 tsp mustard seed
- 1 TBSP nutritional yeast
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
Instructions
- Add prunes, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and marsala wine to a small saucepan.
- Cook over a medium heat until prunes soften and sauce reduces, becoming jammy and coating the prunes.
- Add prunes and spices to food processor and puree until smooth and combined.
- Add in the chopped almonds and pulse just to combine.
- Form mixture into log on parchment paper. Mold into salami log shape by folding one side of the parchment over the log onto the other side of the paper. Bring folded side into and under log, and further shape the peppered vegan salami into a tight cylinder. Twist off ends, like a party favor.
- Place log in fridge overnight for optimal firmness and flavors to meld.
- Wrapped logs of Peppered Vegan Salami can keep in the fridge for at least a month. Slice log while wrapped for easy serving.
