To every 2kgs of German Salami Spice add 98kgs of meat (includes 10% Pork Back Fat)

Mincing and Filling

• Mince all the beef through a 6mm grinder plate and all the pork through a 3mm mincer plate.
• Add all the ingredients and mix well until evenly distributed.
• Meat should then be packed into tubs and kept in a cooler overnight at 3 degrees C. Remove from cooler and pack into sausage filler, eliminating air pockets.
• Salami is stuffed into 84 mm by 500 mm cellulose casing, or use a fibrous casing. Presoak casings in warm water.

Smoking and Cooking

• Salami is to be removed and placed in a pre heated smokehouse at 54.4–57.2 degrees C for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, you may apply a light or medium smoke.
• Gradually increase smokehouse temperature to 65.6 degrees C during the next 30 minutes and hold at this temperature until a desired colour is obtained.
• This will take from 4–5 hours.
• You may then cut off all the smoke and raise the smoker temperature to 73.9–76.7 degrees C and cook until the internal temperature is 68.3 degrees C.
• Remove salami from smoker and shower with cool water until an internal temperature of 48.9 degrees C is obtained.
• You may allow the salami to hang at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until a desired bloom is obtained.
