Since Salami seems to be currently on some folks agenda thought I might as well post these recipes. Think I made the one titled Sam's Salmi one time and it turned out purty good. These all come from Joe.

BW, can you do me a favor and check the tenderquick in the recipes. The first one calls for 1 teaspoon per pound of meat while the rest call for 1 tablespoon per pound. That has me thinking something might not be right. Thanks
 
Simple way to use TQ is to sub it for the salt ration. For my taste buds 1 1/2 t. per lb come out just right and give you plenty of nitrates/trites to satisfy the guv'ment and a perfect salty flavor. If a person is on some kinda low salt deal knock it back to 1 t. per lb. Aint much way to go wrong. Now did talk to the head sausage guru at Allied Kenco once upon a time and he claim you could sub TQ for either Prauge 1 or 2 on a one for one basis and I used it thataway for years. Keeps the meat nice and pink if that be the goal. Now would be a bit squeamish to use it like that on any kinda dry cured products..but then I got some dry cured recipes which dont call for no cure at all. Just stick with the salt ration deal and everybody be ok I think. 1 T. per lb make it slightly too salty for me..less you talking Andouille..which is intended to be used as a seasoning meat. Aint really made to snack around on less a person is a beer drinking cigarette smoking cajun. They can tolerate a lot more heat and salt that some of us gringos. Hope this helps.

The salami recipes are very similar to summer sausage recipes I have. Are they basically the same finished product?
 
I suppose they fairly similar critters. Not sure whut is any distinctive ingredient which makes salami salami other than most I have ever seen is large diameter and has whole peppercorns in it. Now you can get in a brawl purty fast with sausage afficionados if you aint careful in using the term salami. Supposedly real eyetalian salami is a dry cured uncooked product..whereas the stuff most folks makes which passes for salami and is represented in those recipes from Joe is "cotto salami"...where the word cotto means cooked in Eyetalian.
