Salami – Volpi Foods

Summer Caprese Pasta with Salami

When the weather becomes oppressively hot and the world seems to move in slow motion, cooking can seem like an impossible task. This simplest of pastas (like our summer caprese pasta with salami), made from the best of summer’s bounty with tomatoes, basil and mint, takes so little effort – the only cooking is boiling water! The heat of the pasta itself takes the edgy bite off of the raw garlic so that only its nutty, allium-filled glory remains. Coupled with sea salt, fresh mozzarella and Volpi salame, you have a gratifying, barely-earned lunch. Share it with Nonna on the back patio in vinyl chairs and take in the stillness of summer.

Salami Pigs in a Blanket

It’s OK to admit that you love pigs in a blanket. They come out on a tray at a fancy cocktail party, and you secretly do a happy dance. We’ve all been there. Retro, hipster, trashy: no label can define nor denigrate these bite-size porky delights. This is especially true for our salami pigs in a blanket. But if you need to justify them, our apple-onion chutney and mustard beer dipping sauces will class them up nicely. Pig out.

The Volpi Manhattan

Rye rules — at least when you’re making a proper, classic, real Manhattan. It’s spicier and drier than bourbon, which means it fuses better with the other ingredients. But rules are meant to be broken, right? We’re grown-ups, so we’re upgrading from the regular sweet vermouth and instead of pouring a nice Italian Amaro. It just feels more serious. And we didn’t stop there. Homemade brandied cherries beat those insipid jokes from the make-your-own sundae bar, because we’re not messing around when it comes to the Volpi Manhattan.

Pickled Blackberries, Smoked Mozzarella and Plums

Pickled blackberries, smoked mozzarella, and plums are the perfect addition to a salami platter. It takes just a little bit of smoke and some flavored vinegar to turn three ingredients into something special. Cold smoking — a way of preserving food without heat — imparts, well, smoky flavor to the cheese and plums, adding interest on a salami platter. Blackberries take a plunge in seasoned vinegar to add a sweet-tart note. Without much effort, your friends will think you’re a genius. They’re right.

Potato and Salami Pierogies with Caramelized Onions

Potato and salami pierogies with caramelized onions have survived the test of time since their birth in 13th-century Poland and have a place as one of the great stuffed dumplings of the world. And no wonder. Tender discs of dough filled with just about anything tasty, fried in butter (our favorite way), and served with caramelized onions, they are the best kind of addiction.

Okra with Salami and Tomatoes

We love okra. Some people say it’s slimy and refuse to consider it. We say this dish could convert them. By charring the okra whole (no goo oozing out from slices) in a wicked-hot pan, you get crisp-tender pods. Don’t relegate okra to a gumbo limbo. Our salami-tomato sauce is surprisingly sweet, tart, and savory all at once, so it really makes okra the perfect side dish for almost anything.
