This was FABULOUS and completely demolished within minutes as an appetizer for 6 people at Thanksgiving. I was asked for the recipe and told I have to make it again for upcoming holidays and other events. I served it with some baguette slices brushed with olive oil, garlic powder and some crushed rosemary. SO good!! Thank you for the recipe!
Why did you bring this into my life? Thought I would just make a batch this morning to take for Thanksgiving at my sisters; now I have to make a second batch. Really, really good.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am the only person in the family who loves Salami. I now buy 1/2 pound of Salami and it sits in the refrigerator for days. I have come to realize that if my family doesn't know what something is, when they taste it and it is good, they will eat it. You have given me another way to get my family to eat something I know they will like, once it is tried. I believe I can change a thing a two and they will learn to love Salami.
I have to send my husband to work Friday with an appetizer for Italian 'culture day.' I usually send vegan stuff -- not because we are, but because I know those poor pitiful souls typically get left out of party planning in Texas. This time, they're SOL. I'm sending this. Cheers! The hardest part will be grill toasting all that bread!
If you're anticipating Italians there, you may want to consider sticking with a non-meat appetizer for Friday; most Italians are Catholic and ought to be abstaining from meats on Fridays anyways. That being said, this spread does look (and I'm sure tastes) wonderful. All the best!
Chef John!!!! Why did it take soooo long to find you, just last week, I've been watching food blogs Forever!!! Been in the restaurant business for 30 years, and I can truly say you have taught me sooo much and inspired me. I would like to humbly request Carne Guisada. My all time Mexican dish. I'd like to see your version and try it. Much love and new found fan from The Woodlands, Texas.

I'm Italian and all I can say is that this is one of the most accurate "quick nduja" recipes around. My only question is: why not using lard (or as we call it Strutto) instead of butter? For all the rest, absolutely great. I might even actually make this.
Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this recipe pop up. I've been using it on pizza for a while now, but never knew if I was pronouncing it correctly. I guess I got lucky. I must try making this. It's just bonkers on pizza, but I wince every time I pay about $10 for a tiny tube of it. Thanks, Chef. You rock!
About 35yrs ago I got the bright idea to add this to my classic Marinara and kick it up a notch. What it did was create a legend _ my now famous (In our family) 'Magic Marinara' that makes any recipe taste better. Known far and wide as the best thing Evah! I make it in big batches and freeze it so its always on hand to use with Pasta, seafood, Pizza, lasagna, everything.
I made it, following these instructions to the letter. Right out of the food processor, it's delicious. Now it's tightly sealed in the fridge getting the overnight rest. My plan is to store half in the fridge, and make small patties to freeze for later. First recipe will be plain on toast, then mixed with scrambled eggs.
I've been wanting to make this for some time and finally got around to doing it. Super simple to make. Now, I have made nduja and except for the odd hunk of salami that I found when spreading this, one would be hard pressed to tell it from the real thing. I did make one slight addition. I found a jar of smoked hot paprika, so given that nduja is often cold smoked, I added about a tablespoon of the smoked paprika. This an excellent appetizer and I will definitely be making this again. Thanks Chef John....always enjoy watching your videos!!
Okay I just tried this except instead of butter I used ketchup, and instead of salami I used frozen chicken nuggets and needless to say I am not impressed with your recipe sir.
LOL!! There is an old joke about undereducated and ignorant Russian serfs "reproducing" the Countess' recipe at home with the poor ingredients available to them. They too, were not impressed by the recipe. But I sure you know the joke, Mr. Onion.
Sadly, I've been on enough recipe sites to know that there are people that really do stuff like this and have the nerve to diss the recipes. Health nuts are the absolute worst with this. "Ur, I replaced the bacon with turkey breast. This recipe is dry!"
Thank you for this recipe! Nduja is an essential ingredient of one of my favourtie dishes and is ridiculously expensive in the UK. One supermarket chain stocks it at reasonable prices, but only in very, very few of its stores (none in the city I now live in) and online it costs an arm and a leg.
As i can not stand olive oil or at least what passes for it in the UK, i modded your recipe and used lard and butter. It worked well for me at least and the family really liked it, I now make a fresh batch each week while eating the batch produced the previous week. One thing i tried was adding it to sauces and it worked really well IMHO, especially if you make the sauce the day before the flavours meddle and mature. Thanks for the recipe take care and God bless.
I have got to stop watching your vids in the middle of the night. I get so hungry and having had this before, but it's been a while, my mouth starts watering. I can not eat at 2 AM in the morning... Anymore,... After tonight. Now where did I put that Italian bread, ham and swiss cheese...
Wow! Your thumbnail game has improved massively recently! Am I supposed to be licking the screen? Chef John, could you make something Lithuanian? The easiest thing to make would be Cold Beetle Soup, but it does requires kefir, which I think is hard to come by in the USA. If you can't, then Zeppelins would great. I am 100 percent sure you would be able to make your own awesome version of it!
Kefir is not hard to come by! Know most major full-service supermarkets, and even ALDI (although they don't carry plain on a regular basis) has it. Fermented things have become more popular lately, like kombucha, beer, yogurt, sauerkraut, and pickles
church picnics are the best test audience. They're used to bland midwestern and deli foods, so anything fancy will make you an instant celebrity. I brought some homemade Thai green papaya salad with prawns (som tom/som tum) to my grandpas church BBQ a couple years ago and they still ask for the recipe.
I love this stuff!!!! Soho House Toronto makes an amazeballs pizza with this stuff. Pretty sure they make it the traditional way from scratch... But if Chef John says this is as good, then I'm onboard!
@@DogeUSA When I made that comment two years ago... the Toronto House made it from scratch in their own kitchen. I know because I made it with the kitchen crew - so they weren't buying it.
Heartburn is a funny thing. Had them back when I was in a stressful job and drinked + smoked. Now I dont drink and took 2 weeks carnivore - diet and ate only meat and fat, a lot of it. Heartburns are mere a memory. I still smoke, a lot less though.
The Italian deli/market/restaurant that I work at just started carrying these Calabrian peppers! They’re delicious, and probably about the same heat level as a jalapeño. It just so happens we also sell all the ingredients (minus the butter). Looks like I’ll be trying this soon
Reminds me of a family thing my mom would make called pizza burgers. Salami, pepper jack, bologna, mozzarella all ground by hand through a hand cranked grinder ( important for the right texture) combine with pizza sauce and spread on top of some shitty white bread buns. bake at 375 for 9-13 min and they are fucking amazing.
Hey, this is something to the Spanish Sobrasada. Almost the same thing. It is cured raw with paprika, pepper, salt, and peppers. It is cured in an intestine, hung to cure, and then served with toast with red wine. Sobrasada is really spread not sliced. Either way, this version looks delicious.
Chef John, this looks amazing! My family doesn’t particularly go for the spicy food, but I was wondering if I could swap out roasted garlic cloves for the chilis? That seems like it would be a good flavor. What do you think? Either way, great job as always! Thank you!
I made this spread for Thanksgiving and it went over very well. I made it in a smaller food processor than the one you used, Chef John, and even after all the blending, additions of oil and butter, the spread seemed a bit "grainy". Is that because I the food processor bowl was too small or the salami texture? Thanks for all your videos I'm enjoying cooking much more after watching the videos.
Yeah Pure lard would work better - But a lot of mainline grocery store lard in the U.S. is anything but pure. It's usually stepped on and cut like street cocaine.
David, you got it right, and those were my own thoughts. And considering the real odds, I too will risk the cardiac arrest. Some, go by what they read and not by what they taste.

@@oiyabastard7275 what rock you living under, nduja (Calabrian dialect) became fashionable about 5 years ago.
oiyabastard I can't believe you've never heard of it.
I don't think they even sell lard in US supermarkets... do they?
Robin Betts Not that I've seen. Kinda pricey online too
My parents once brought tthis spread from their vocation in calabria. I found it in the fridge and fell instantly in love!
I didn't even know this existed until this very moment😍
Now your life will be divided into before and after.

Saw the title and couldn't wait to try this. AWESOME! Also that pig table cloth....
This is the best channel on UA-cam, and there is a lot of competition for that title. Love these soothing delicious videos.
I had this once at an Italian place in New York and I've thought about it, like, once a week since then. It's that good.
Nduja on pizza is the GOAT
When Chef John said “you are the mami of your spicy-made salami” I FELT THAT
Your videos are so comforting
I love Nduja, your's looks amazing!
Wow this looks amazing! I’ll be making this for our holiday parties for sure!
Mmmm........I can't wait to try this next week. Chef John, you're the best
Oh my I am in love with this recipe! Thank you!
I like ur cooking way so much ...even ur English accent is lovely ....regards
This is magnificent and my friends are going to be soooo HAPPY! Thanks, Chef John!
You are the best, learned so much from your channel. Grazie mille chef John

Sounds delicious ! What a great appetizer !
This is a great channel. Thank you for so many wonderful dishes. I will work hard to make the time to try these.
Never knew any thing like this. It looks really good. Have to give it a try.
Tried this over the weekend. This recipe is great!!!!!
And as always, another great video !
This is genius!!!Chapeau bas!!!🏆

Come Spring with will drive to Milwaukee for some Italian sausage, pickings here in Green Bay are slim, another one out of the park Chef John.
Was recently thinking of how much I miss nduja. Thank you for this!
This would be a great gift for a salty/ meat lover !
Oooooo! Salami squared. My delicatessen only sells salami round 😂. But I would be happy to try your version 😋
This was divine, Chef John!
Mmmmmm, served with a nice big Greek salad is wonderful!
I just love your channel! I’m always eager to watch a new video.
Oh wow this is right up my ally!! I cant believe this is real it looks so good, must try
MMM...heartburn spread! That looks delicious!
This speaks to me in so many ways...... Salami Mmmmm.
That looks amazing. I really want to make it as a spread I bring for thanksgiving, now.
Awesome! Great job! Thank you very much!
I'm a vegetarian but I still enjoy listening to your voice
His voice is fine... but his modulation makes me feel insane
@@LydiaHChrist it takes some getting used to
That. Looks. Delicious.

This looks worth the heart burn, chef!
This looks sooooo good
Omg that looks delicious
👍🏻 This is a great recipe, makes me feel homesick. I come from nduja-land. Once you taste it, you'll want to put in everything.
Thank you for pronouncing Nduja correctly.
That looks absolutely amazing, make from some of my favorites too.
Looks great!
How long will this keep (sealed) in the fridge?
I was thinking doing the Nduja with melted Burrata or Mozerella. looks so delicious!
I made this spread for Thanksgiving and it went over very well. I made it in a smaller food processor than the one you used, Chef John, and even after all the blending, additions of oil and butter, the spread seemed a bit "grainy".

this looks delicious! Will have to try this next time i host!
Oh man!! I NEED to try this!!
Chef John knows... You bring his Spicy Salami to a party... Oh, people are gonna be talking! Legend! 6:15
Oh my goodness, this looks divine!
Looks so amazing!
Omg always wanted to taste this
That looks so yummy. 😋. I’ll bet it would be good on my favorite low carb Fire Roasted Tomato and Olive Oil Triscuits!
Soo gonna try this. Never heard of Nduja.
There is this Moroccan dish my dad made a few times when I was a kid. Bastilla/Pastilla. You should make video on that.
Why not use lard instead of olive oil and butter if you want to mimic pork fat?
I'd say that's a perfect substitute. Just olive oil and butter is the way you go if you want to avoid cardiac arrest for a few more years.
Yeah i wonder the same thing.
Yeah Pure lard would work better - But a lot of mainline grocery store lard in the U.S. is anything but pure. It's usually stepped on and cut like street cocaine.
