Title: Mortadella di Bologna
Post by: icebob on January 18, 2016, 06:04:56 PM
Had a hard time finding mortadella around here, so yesterday I decide to have a go at it. Followed the recipe from the book "Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages" by Mariansky. Oh boy I'm in for a good treat :P This was a first try so I went straight from the recipe and poached the log. Next time this will get some smoke treatment!

Sure, many do cooked hams and it turns out well.  It will get "smoke"

Yep!  Do a search on bologna.  It's kind of like a twice-smoked ham.  Here's a link to one way:

Also read some recipes that the fat pieces are smoked first then added to the meat. I would guess they do a cold smoke to the fat so will not render to nothing. But, what I purchase here at the Italian Deli does have a faint smoked taste in every bite, great with provolone cheese on a hard roll.  Would have love to see your process for doing this.
