The Food: Soprosata

Soprosata is a dry salami, which is cured meat like pepperoni.  Calabrese soprosata (hot) is shown above).  To make it at home is not so easy, rather, it takes a lot of patience.  IF ANYONE has the correct, detailed directions, please email me, but basically you get 12 pounds of pork, dice it, put it in a big stainless steel bowl.  Add in a cup of salt, a half cup of red pepper flakes, a cup of red wine.  Put it through the grinder, stuff into the casing, then hang to cure.
