Ingredients for biscuit salami:
- 300 g biscuits (preferably whole grain or plain biscuits for better texture)
- 50 g margarine (or butter, if you are not fasting)
- 100 ml water (adjust the amount according to the biscuits)
- 100 g ground walnuts (you can also use hazelnuts or almonds, according to your preferences)
- Sugar to taste (approximately 50 g, but you can adjust based on your preferences)
- 1-2 tablespoons rum essence (for an aromatic flavor)
- 50 g coconut (for decoration)
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Preparing the biscuits: Start by crushing the biscuits. You can do this with a blender or by placing the biscuits in a plastic bag and crushing them with a hammer or rolling pin. The goal is to achieve a fine mixture, but it shouldn't be powder.
2. Melting the margarine: In a small saucepan, add the margarine and let it melt over low heat. It is important not to let it boil, just to melt evenly. This step will help incorporate the flavors better into the mixture.
3. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, ground walnuts, sugar, and rum essence. Mix the dry ingredients well so that the flavors are evenly distributed.
4. Adding water: Gradually add the water while continuously mixing. The amount of water can vary depending on the biscuits, so it is good to add water little by little. The mixture should be moist but not overly soft.
5. Incorporating the margarine: Once you have achieved the right consistency, add the melted margarine and mix again. Make sure there are no lumps and everything is well homogenized.
6. Forming the salami: On a sheet of plastic wrap, pour the mixture and, using your hands, shape it into a cylinder. Tightly wrap the ends of the plastic wrap to keep the air out and maintain the shape.
7. Cooling: Place the salami in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until it hardens. This is the perfect time to relax and enjoy a good book or a walk in nature!
8. Serving: Once it has hardened, remove the salami from the wrap and roll it in coconut to give it an appetizing look. You can slice the salami into thin pieces and serve it alongside a cup of coffee, tea, or a cold lemonade.
Useful tips:
- If you want to add a touch of dried fruits, such as raisins or apricots, you can incorporate them into the biscuit mixture for an extra flavor boost.
- You can experiment with different flavors by adding cocoa to create a chocolate biscuit salami or cinnamon for a warmer taste.
- Instead of coconut, you can use cocoa powder to coat the salami, giving it a different texture and appearance.
