Fig, Date and Walnut Salami
In the southern areas of Italy it is quite common to use dry fruit to make something very special. This recipe requires no cooking, as I use walnuts, dried figs and dates. The result is a sausage-shaped ‘salami’ which can be enjoyed in slices with coffee or a good dessert wine. It also accompanies cheese very well.
You could make a slightly different version to that offered here. Replace the orange peel with 125g (4 1/4 oz) pine kernels and add one tablespoon of fennel seed. Omit the vanilla and pepper.
You will need some rice paper, foil and greaseproof paper.
Makes about 1.5kg (3 lb 5 oz)
