‘Nduja Indeed
Spread the love.
Based on a southern Italian specialty, ‘nduja (pronounced “inn-doo-ya”) is a spreadable sausage that will have you hooked from the very first taste. And while this may not be an authentic ‘nduja made with roasted Calabrian chilli peppers, I’m confident the spirit of the flavours checks all the right boxes.
I also love this recipe because portions are less about a cup of this or tablespoon of that, but more about what flavours you want to come through— and even what ingredients you have on hand. I like to add different kinds of peppers, spice things up (or mellow them out) depending on who I’m serving this to and how I’m serving it— this is great with your antipasto platter, goes wonderful on fresh pasta, and hits the spot as a pizza base, too.
However you enjoy this delicious spread, just make sure you have plenty of it on hand. —CFG
