n'duja

Post by story28 » Sat Dec 10, 2011 23:46

Does anyone know of a good recipe for N'duja? I can't seem to find one.

Also, I am trying to figure out what differentiates this spreadable sausage with sobrasada.

Thanks, Devo. I like how they mention using the odds and ends like lungs and head. That's the type of formula I am trying to do for myself. I have also been batting around the idea of using rendered lard for creaminess and spreading qualities. But, with using heat treated fat, there might be some issues with lipolytic breakdown that need to be considered first.

I used information I gathered from Sausage Debauchery as a guide.

Sobrasada is more of a chorizo.
Thanks. I actually know Scott. He trying to sell me spices for my shop :lol:

Thanks, I spent about 30 minutes before the Google Chrome translate came down and offered some help :lol:

I know I said it once already, but this is a GREAT resource for some authentic products!

Story, if you're trying to make Nduja, i strongly suggest you use a calabrian chili pepper.
The flavor is very different from cayenne, or other chilies.

I haven't found anyone who sells the stuff cheaper than Sausage Debauchery, and it's great stuff.

Yeah, I know Scott, and he is been helpful in providing the necessary spices. What really interests me though, is the classical preparation; using the odds and ends like lungs and hearts. I am still searching for that age old recipe that outlines if/what those proportions were. I think using those cuts is really what makes n'duja, n'duja :smile:

Welcome to the forum. It's a great one.
