Summer sausage with olives?
-
Has anyone made a summer sausage that had green olives in it? Kind of like a pimento loaf but with same texture as summer sausage? If so, how did you do it?
-
Never even heard of such a combination for summer sausage; interesting to say the least.

HerbcoFood I tried some about 3 weeks ago at a bar back home and it was really good!

ND Mike Sounds good, if you find a recipe I would be interested even if my wife doesn’t like olives.

I have never heard of that but I really like olives of all kinds and would try it if I had the opportunity.
If I was making any kind of olive loaf I think I would steer clear of using whole olives due to the potential for plugging a stuffer funnel. Using quartered whole olives or minced olives might be the way to avoid problems.

Also come to think of it, I wonder how it will throw off your salt you’d add for seasoning because olives are salty on their own.

ND Mike Do you have pictures of how it came out? I’ve never done it before but I remember another thread about this…found it, it is old but somewhat related.

Jonathon it looked very much like this. I did a quick search and found this post. It was on smoking meat forums. Except it didn’t have the cheese. It was really good.
-
remeber to blanch the olives before you put them in the mix and try to add them after the grinder
-
I would also freeze your olives before adding to meat so you dont mush them during mixing. Same concept as your high temp cheese

I recently made traditional mortadella with pistachio and black peppercorn but I’ve also eaten it with olives instead. I would bet the flavor profile would be similar. Main difference between mortadella and summer sausage is that the mortadella is an emulsified sausage

Also, traditional summer sausage is technically a semi-dry sausage style, often with tangy flavor from bacteria cultures or ECA.
