Well here I am on my HCG diet for many many days, and if you are familiar with this diet you are limited to a certain number of calories in the means of certain restricited foods 100 grams of lean protein, serving of veggies and fruit and a Melba toast. So variety can be an issue to say the least!
So as I was ever searchig for things I can make at home for way less than I can buy in the grocery store or really even just so I can make at home just because ! So as I performed a google search on homemade deli meats, I found a recipe for homemade Salami now this isn't a recipe for the stuff you can leave out forever, but it is close enough.
2lbs ground beef
2 TBS quick tenderizing salt
1/2 teaspoon each mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, peppercorns, pepper and minced garlic.
Mush all this together well. roll into logs in aluminum foil, (i did mine in 100 gram increments) place in your ice box aka the refridgerator for 24 hours. Then boil for 1 hour on the stove. Cool drain and rewrap ( i used new foil) and enjoy!
This was absolutely delicious and totally hcg diet friendly. I will definitely be making this again even when I am not on the diet!
The neighbors thought I had lost it boiling salami huh? They didn't quite understand that I was making it from scratch (maybe I should be more clear). So I made them try it, I gave them each a slice and they all agreed it is a hit!!!!!!! Happy cooking! Until next time....
