Andrea, I realise that traditionally Italians like to add wine to their sausage/salami mixes, believing that the alcohol in the wine helps to preserve the mince, but you will find that the addition of any acidic substance to the mince mixture, prevents the binding of the finished product. That is why, I suspect, the end result of your mortadella, was crumbly. Instead of wine, if you add water and baking soda also known as Bicarbonate of soda (not baking powder), at the rate of 1 teaspoon per kilogram of meat, this will bind the meat perfectly. I have been using this method for 40 years, even when I make burgers, with perfect results every time. Keep up the good work my friend......
Thanks for this very good information 👍🏼 I will try it
Thank you so much for this ❣️
I love the circling of the right hand.
SPECTACULAR!
Reminds me of the saying
“Tie an Italians hands and he can’t
speak”
I can say because I’m Italian ;)
Yes 😂👍🏼 it is true
While that is VERY TRUE . . . it also applies to most MEDITERRANEANS . . . Greek, Spanish, EVEN Egyptians . . . ROFLMAO (That's what I am)
Gotta LOVE ot though . . . RIGHT ? !
😂🤣😂🤣😂
I had sex with an Italian girl, so I can say it too
Hi Andrea, spectacular result as always. Years ago I visited a mortadella factory and I remember that the spices also include macis which is the skin that covers the nutmeg, cardamom and celery seeds which naturally contain nitrites and help preserve the color of the mortadella without adding additives chemists. Another fundamental thing for the characteristic taste of mortadella is to also use "trippini" , i.e. pig's stomach, in the mixture of cuts of meat. in industrial production the meat is frozen and minced or diced cold to avoid oxidation. sorry for the english I used google translate.
Thanks for sharing this information 👍🏼
Your translation is spectacular 😉
Thanks again
So what's the difference between the plant nitrate and pure substance, like potassium nitrate. By using a pure subtanse you know what you are adding and how much. Of course by using vegetable material you are adding the other compounds as well if that is your point.
It actually nitrate NO3- anion is first redused to nitrite NO2- which in then forming the nitrosonium ion NO+ which forms the red colour with meat myoglobin. So nitrate is used (historically) in the products in which the bacterial activity does this - it takes time. Therefore food industry use nitrite or nitrate/nitrite combination. Nitrite levels are so low that nitrite is hard properly weigh. In Europe we used salt which contains 0,6% nitrite, oversalting prevents the addition too much nitrite. In US different cure salts #1 and #2 are used.
Always the wind mill movement with the arm!! That’s the sign of a good eat 😂😂 😋
😂 yes 👍🏼
It's at the 10:05 mark. What is that? I love it. But I'm not sure why.
i swear bro everytime i search any italian food from scrach this channel pops up and i LOVE it
😂👍🏼 thanks
You're really good explaining the whole process in an easy way!. I follow you since 2018 and the way you've improved your English is impressive and good enough to make yourself understand perfectly. You should feel proud Andrea!!! Keep the hard work 💪
Thanks Christian for your support and for your kindness ☺️
This is going on my list of sausages to make. Thanks.
Bravo 👏🏼😉🥳
Fantastic! Love it. I will hang the mortadella casing, instead of a Christmas stocking, by my fireplace for Babo Natale!❤🎄🎅🎁
😂👍🏼 good idea
Babbo
I love a good Mortadella. The key to getting a good emulsification, and thereby a smooth texture and a good bind, is to keep the meat as cold as possible and shorten the processing as much as possible. This can be done by cooling the meat to just around 0 degrees Celsius before putting it through the grinder, and then use a food processor after the first grind instead of repeatedly grinding the meat, which will usually make the fat smear and stop any chance of emulsification. Adding some crushed ice while putting it through the food processor will further assist in the emulsification, and by doing it this way the texture becomes as smooth as anything you can buy. And yes, usually a big domestic food processor will only allow for up to about 1 kg at the time, but it is really worth doing it in batches and getting a much better result.
that and adding an emulsifier. If you cannot get proper emulsifier, use mustard and baking powder. I put a lot more fat and pistachios in my mortadella.
@@donaldist7321 I have been using Bullifrisch (purpose made emulsifier), which I also use for making Wiener, Frankfurter, and Bratwurst with. It does help towards getting a very uniform smooth texture and bind but you can achieve almost the same just by keeping everything really cold I find.
What lard do you use? What's the name so I can buy it at the grocery store please
@@giselsilvaback fat
@@giselsilvain the video, he gets the lard by cutting it from pork belly.
SPECTACULAR!❤ But only one important warning- when you grind the meat, never go more then 12C on the meat. When you start grind again with higher meat temperture, the meat just start "sweat", it's mean the fat start separate from the meat structure -worst taste later.
Thanks 👍🏼 very good information ℹ️ I should try 🙂
Sehr 👍 gut, danke für das super Rezept👌💚
Welcome 😉👍🏼
i always cooked it in water. using the oven seems easier and less messy.
Keep us updated 😉 with the oven version
Like others have said, a food processor is the solution here, I think. I will probably do both - do a single mince first, then use a food processor in batches. Then mix it all up again. But a wonderfully simple recipe - thanks!
Ok 👌🏼 keep us updated 🥳
Well, speaking of such types of products, where you must grind the meat into cream, the food processor must be very powerful. Ordinary one is able to cut around 150 grams of meat at a time. Besides you must always watch the temperatures of both meat and processor's motor (second one normally is ready to be burnt after 1st kilo). The price of simple,but powerful chinese processor, in which you can load 1kg is 500$. Expensive hobby)
This looks so delicious! Try out some goats cheese on the bread with the mortadella plus a little bit of olive oil and you will love it!!! I miss eating that so much, you made me want to buy at least a good mortadella here, and I will definitely try to make it myself, it is very easy. Thanks for your spectacular recipe!!
Yes 👍🏼 spectacular combination 🤪
It looks good!
It’s spectacular 🥳
Garnde Video caro Andrea. Mi ricordo la nonna fare la Mortadella a casa. Lei aggiungeva un po di coriadolo con il pepe nero e non utillizo vino con la ricetta, altriment lei faceva tutto come ai fatto lei. Questo video ha risvegliato grandi ricordi nostalgici. Buon anno novo. Antonio da Malta.
Forte 👍🏼 grazie Antonio per questo commento che conferma la tecnica di una volta 🥳
Descubriendo tu canal, saludos desde Venezuela, y comienzo a ver tus videos hoy. Comencé con la papada curada de cerdo para hacer carbonada... me encanta tu acento italiano de tu inglés!! Un abrazo y mucha suerte!!
Gracias ☺️ un abrazo 🤗
Thank you bro.
You are a solid youtuber.
Thanks for all your recipes
🥳👍🏼🤪 thanks for watching and sharing the videos
Looks so good Andrea, I love this recipe, if it’s like segatura in the middle, that means that it didn’t bind/appianare, it has to be mixed more before putting in the case, mix until it sticks to your hand, then add the lardele and stuff. It will be molto bene. 🙏🏽
Thanks for the advice 👍🏼 I will try
Thank you for this recipe. I love it! So cool to see you make it at home and stuff it by hand in the casing. Great Job!
Thanks Calvin 👍🏼

When i was young I lived in Italy for many years. I used to get a mushroom sauce on my panini and I loved it so much. I've never been able to recreate it in the decades I've been back in America. Can you do a video on that? Lol it's been over 30 years since I've had it and I still think about it when I make panini. That and the marinated eggplant that you eat with bread. That stuff is SO good too! I can't recreate that right either.

I love how naturally you make these things. You’ve been an inspiration for my whole charcuterie hobby. If I put an internal probe in this while cooking, what should it reach? 60c perhaps?
Thanks ☺️ you need to reach 80*C degrees in the center
Ciao Andrea, I am currently studying at university in Italy. When I go back home to America, I like to prepare dishes from traditional italian regional cuisine. However, the US doesn't have all of the same ingredients in grocery stores as Italy. One such item is Robiola-one of my favorite cheeses. Is it possible to make robiola at home? I know you can make soft cheeses like robiola and mozzarella at home, but I was struggling to find an appropriate robiola recipe. Thanks
Welcome 🤗 to Italy. Do you like stracchino ? Because I have posted the video about it. At the moment I’m in Indonesia and find fresh milk is impossible 😬 maybe I can try this coming summer when I will be back 😉
What a lovely recepie spectacular👍😊
Thanks 🙂
Really spectacular !! I like your way how to make things . I like the Basil Pot behind you . I Hope you could make a video talking about it . Thank you
Thanks ☺️ I will in the future 😉
Oohh looks soooo good and the crunchy bread!! Buona!!!
🤪👍🏼 spectacular
Thank you for are the awesome videos. I have been looking for authentic homemade, salami and Bologna without all the chemical preservatives found in Western culture meats. Thanks you very much.
😉👍🏼 keep us updated
I'm waiting for this recipe for a long time. Thanks.
🥳👍🏼 sorry 😬 if I am late
Any idea what the internal temperature of the mortadella should be after taking it out from the oven? I'm definitely going to try this very soon. Grazie! :)
80*C degrees
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato thank you!! 🤜
@t00thpiker 😉👍🏼
Superb! Grazie
Grazie 🤩
It looks very good! The word you are looking for to describe the mince is fine or smooth.
It should be a very fine grind, you said it was a bit crumbly in that case we might also say it is a bit coarse or a coarse grind. I made mortadella and after grinding it two times I put it in a food processor to get it more smooth. It was good but still not the same texture as store bought. I thought curing salt was required. I wonder how the flavour differs without the curing salt. I feel inspired to try your recipe!
Ok 👍🏼 thanks for the advice. Let us know if you try this recipe 🙂
Your English is better than my Italian! Although I know a lot of swear words in Italian, I picked them up from my Italian chef colleagues. This was really interesting and great to watch dude.
😂 thanks
This video was a treat, thanks!
Thanks for watching and sharing
Thank you. Very clear. ❤❤❤

Thanks my dear for your support 🥳
I recently made some stracchino cheese after watching your video. I used the whey to make high hydration pizza dough which I formed into small pizzas and DEEP FRIED and topped with the stracchino and some mortadella. Now this came up in my watch feed.
🥳👍🏼 spectacular
I have some of your recipes hanging in my refer and looking forward to use this my very favorite as soon as I get the casings. Thank you for another authentic recipe.
Is the casing you use natural?
Keep us updated
👍🏼 yes natural but dry
Good idea.
Grazie 👍🏼
i want try that.. i would cut it into thicker slices and then pan fry it, add some mustard or pickles to the sandwich. great video man
😉👍🏼 keep us updated with the tasting of your spectacular sandwiches 🥪
Spectaculor!
🥳👍🏼🤩 bravo
When you eat mordadella you have to eat a lot then it is very tasty. I love adam.the color and the taste is spectacular.
Thanks buddy 😉👍🏼
Thanks, brother. I love mortadella
😉👍🏼
That looks delicious mate, I'm going to have to make some, maybe a half sized batch though. Greetings from England and thanks for sharing :)
👍🏼 keep us updated 🤪
Wow, looks so yummy. Could you smoke/cook it? Seems like it would take smoke real nice.
Yes 👍🏼 you can 😉 and keep us updated
Great looking mortadella, i think if you worked the meat for a good 10/15 minutes by hand after you have done the multiple grinds it would not be as crumbly consistency . This is a technique some of the chefs use for doing the minced lamb kobideh Persian dish .
Thanks for the advice 🤩 very interesting 👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato take it easy man .
🤔 what do you mean?
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato take care like have a good nice chilled out day hahah
Well done 👌🏻 thank you!
😉👍🏼 thanks
This looks amazing. How long can this huge piece of mortadella last in a fridge? Also, is it possible to scale it and make smaller one, eg half the size using the same procedure?
Few weeks but you can cut in big chunks and frozen it
Yes 👍🏼 you can make it smaller
Very cool! Looks delicious. Would you consider trying salami milanese?

Hello, thank you so much for your recipe. I think your mortadella is falling apart because you didn't add any binder. However I'm impressed how good it holds together. I was really after a recipe like this. If you don't want to add starches I think giving the meat a good knead will help release the myosin to make it bind tighter. Probably do this before mixing in any fat at all.
Thanks for the advice 👍🏼 yes ☺️ other friends gave the same advice 😉 mix it more
Great recipe and honest tasting reactions as usual. Is it okay to use an electric food processor to fine mince the pork instead of a thousand rounds in a manual mincer?
👍🏼 yes 😂 but add some ice 🧊 cubes
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Oh thank you for the tip. Processors tend to heat up and cook the meat.
Exactly 👍🏼
GREAT TUTORIAL AMICO! IF YOU WANT MORTADELLA TO BE MORE ONE- COLOR- PINK:
1.TRY ADD ICE CUBES WHILE YOU GOUND THE MEAT - IT WILL BE MORE FLUFFY
2.TRY TO STEAM MORTADELLA SOUS-VIDE INSTEAD OF BEAKING :)
GRAZIE! ❤
Thanks for the advice 👍🏼🤩
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato You welcome 👌💀
Amazing! Thank you! Can you please make salami? In the States salami is so salty and flavorless! 😢

Thanks for sharing and greetings from the US! Very impressive that you've replied to so many comments. This may be a silly question, but why does this not require a cure? Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. I came to learn how to make this after Josh Weissman made a version of Anthony Bourdain's favorite sandwich
Because it is cooked like hot dog
Try adding 2 Tablespoons of Corn Starch (Corn Flour in UK) per Kilogram of Meat for binding & texture :)
I add it to my Sausage.
Thanks for the advice 👍🏼
How long will it last if I vacuum pack the mortadella an leave it in the fridge?
2 weeks
Nice knife!

Mortadella is very popular in Iran. Was my favorite when I was a kid. Of course in Iran Mortadella is made with beef.
I should try to make it with beef 😉👍🏼
Amazing.
😉👍🏼 thanks
From Zimbabwe a big hug. Can l uses a bit of gelitin so it’s not so crumbly? Great job anyways
I never tried 🤔
cool
Thanks ☺️
Hey Paisano, what they do in the sausage plants they use industrial food processor that's how they get the meat to the right consistency. Not a meat grinder. And as far as cooking goes, use a sous vide for accurate temperature
Thanks for the advice 👍🏼 in this video is more old fashion style 😂
Maybe if you use a blender or a large mortar to beat it into a paste it may get a better texture. Nice recipe.!
Yes 👍🏼
Nothing wrong with your english.going to the butcher to get some pork and casing have everything else.im in the USA and mortadella available here isn't all that anymore.ill bet that recipe taste outstanding even if it is a bit grainy!looking forward to my first.thank you so much.nice easy video no fuss or as we say here bull sh..!plz keep I up.
Thanks 👍🏼 keep us updated
Hi Andrea, if to use synthetic casing, time for cooking in the oven will be the same? I live in the big city and can find either natural casing for small sausages or synthetic for big ones :(
Yes 👍🏼 same time
amazing! thank you!!
Thanks 👍🏼
Fascinating. Every video I've seen making mortadella uses a food processor and water to grind the pork to a paste to make the meat emulsion. Really interesting to watch how you did this with just a grinder. I agree with previous comment to keep meat as cold as possible to prevent potential smearing. However, this will, obviously make the process much longer if you have to freeze the meat for 30 minutes before grinding each time. It's obvious that the grinder could not get the meat to a fine enough texture. Also wondering about salt content. By my calculation, it looks like the salt was 40g for 2300g meat (1.7%). This seems a rather low, but maybe this is normal for this type of sausage? I still think this was an excellent video. Thanks!
Less salt because it is cooked 😉
Do you know what the internal temperature of the mortadella was after being in the oven at 80C for 2hrs? Thanks@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato
@buddhatbay9041 No 🙂 I don’t know but after 2 hours should be 80*C degrees
Everything looked great and i hope it tasted even better! I had couple of moments, though, where I had questions.
1. You were not preoccupied with temperature at all when emulsifying the meat. Every advice on sausage making I hear says keep the temperature below 12°C while grinding and emulsifyong meat, which I did always adhere to. You seem to be very easy going about it and yet sausage turned out great.
2. Only two hours in the owen at 175°F seems a bit too short. Pork meat sausage is supposed to be at least 155°F inside in order to be fully cooked. Do you think your mortadella was that warm inside?
With small quantities your meat will be cold 👍🏼
Yes 👍🏼 after 2 hours
But if you have the tools 👍🏼 yes 😉 it is true follow this temperature 🤒
Keep us updated
Thank you,how long does it keep in the frigde?
1 or 2 weeks
A stand mixer would aid in emulsification and reduce the "grainy" texture. I'm assuming that we want an internal temp of 175 degrees. How does it stand up to freezing?
After you Reached that temperature you need to drop it to store it
A stand mixer can cause the meat temperature to raise above 55F and that would be bad. So a little ice is needed.
@@nicklloyd9165use a stainless bowl and lave it in the freezer prior to mixing.
Looked good, love cooking but will never make. Difficult to find in Cincinnati OH but not impossible. SO going to the deli.
Ok 👍🏼
Hi. How long will it last in the fridge? How do you store the rest without going bad(expire)?
1 or 2 weeks. You can vacuum it and frozen 🥶 it

I tried Mortadella in Italy and Asmara, Eritrea. Asmara Mortadella is the Best tasting, I do not know why.
Never tried 👍🏼 thanks for the information, maybe I will try it in the future
how would you know if 2 hrs is enough, ovens could be different.is it ok to stick in a thermometer?
Check the temperature of the oven 😉
The net type covering can be used to hang it?
Yes 👍🏼
6:08 Do you really have to mix 5-10 minutes, or just until homogeneous?
Really 5-10 minutes 👍🏼
Can this be done with other meat? Chicken or lamb? What needs to be different in terms of what type of meat and fat?
Pork fat is different
Un grande grazie.
Cosa ne pensate della possibilità di macinare ulteriormente la carne già macinata con un mixer per maionese fino a renderla completamente cremosa? Pensi che sarebbe una buona idea provarci?
Saluti dalla Serbia.
Si va bene 👍🏼 ma se si scalda si cuoce , devi mettere un cubetto di ghiaccio 🧊 ogni porzione che frulli
Maybe a food processor or a blender would do a better job then a mincing machine at home. Where I am from strore bought Mortadella usually has olives and black pepper, full pieces that get cut during slicing
Ok 👍🏼 thanks, yes different recipe
Good work 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
