Kosho Salami

Spicy salame with Japanese-style funky chili-citrus paste

This KOSHO salame is made with the bright, fiery Japanese condiment of the same name. Late each summer, we combine all the ripe hot chilis we can find with piles and piles (mountains, really!) of citrus zest. We salt it all down and let it mellow, slightly, until all the big, brash flavors somehow meld into a harmonious whole. This is a salame to savor on its own or, if you’re inclined toward excess, perhaps as un apéro with some little Picholine olives.
