Description
A processed sausage similar to regular bologna, but with the addition of garlic for a bold, savory flavor. It can be enjoyed in sandwiches, cooked in various dishes, or as part of charcuterie boards.
Ingredients
- Ground meats (usually beef and/or pork, sometimes poultry)
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Paprika (sometimes)
- Dried, granulated, or powdered garlic (sometimes fresh minced garlic)
- Sodium nitrite (curing agent)
Instructions
- Sandwich Preparation: Use thick slices between fresh bread, topped with mustard, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.
- Frying: Slice and fry in a pan until edges are crispy.
- Cooking: Use in scrambled eggs, frittatas, quiches, pasta sauces, casseroles, and pasta bakes.
- Charcuterie: Pair with cheese, crackers, and cured meats.
Notes
- The specific blend of meats and spices can vary by producer.
- Garlic bologna has a bold flavor, which may need balancing with milder ingredients.
- Slicing can be easier when chilled.
- Leftovers should be stored wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer (with slight texture changes noted).
