Salami Jésus de Lyon

There is an amazing French salami sometimes available here, it's coarse in texture and I think it's called Jésus de Lyon. I guess the spices are garlic and wine. Anyone got a reliable recipe?

Hmm. :? No luck there. I found a recipe for basic Saucisse de Lyon, but I'm interested in the seasoning of this particular variety. As said, I guess it's garlic and wine but in small quantities. The aroma is subtle, not at all like chorizo for example. And is it red or white wine?

Grisell,

Ingredients as taken from an ingredient list are:

Pork, Sea Salt, Wine, Dextrose, Celery Powder, Pepper, Garlic, Starter Culture.

I believe the Jesus de Lyon has the same ingredients as the Rosetta de Lyon, however the meats and fats are more coarsly chopped, and it is stuffed into a much shorted but wider casing.

Regards,
Richard

When it comes to amounts Google was not my friend! Although Len Poli has some good recipes on his site which you could probably follow, substituting these ingredients, but don't follow his recipe for Rosetta de Lyon as it doesn't appear to be very true to the original.

Here is a basic recipe for Sausisson de Lyon which may give you a starting point:

Lyon Sausage

5 lbs cured ground pork
10 cloves pressed garlic
1 & 1/2 tablespoons of white pepper
4 tablespoons of salt
1 cup white wine

Combine all ingredients. Mix well and refrigerate for 48 hours.
Stuff into hog casing and tie in 8-inch or 18 inch lengths. Hang in a
cool place for 12 - 16 weeks.

Just add cure according to the weight of the meat, some dextrose to assist the fermentation and celery powder to taste. I have never yet used celery powder so can't help much as to the quantity of that, maybe some others on the forum have more experience of it's use.

Regards,
Richard

:wink: Try bioling 1 head of garlic ,peeled and crushed(not minced) and 5 cloves,all wrapped up in a piece of cloth,in 3/4 ltr. of decent white wine,for 10 Kg. of meat. Take the spices out, alloww to cool off and ad to your salami mix,working it well. No need to boil them for more than 5 min.Try it and let me know how it comes out. :wink:
