  • Looking forward to making this. I have used a commercial version of this for spreads on sandwiches, flatbreads, and on charcuterie boards. It’s great with just crackers or good crusty bread and a knife!

    I would like to try using the ‘Ndjua mixed with some bread crumbs as a topping for baked clams. Sort of a twist on the Portuguese Alentejo style of cooking clams with pork.

  • I would like to make pate using Nduja and duck liver using my Ninja Creami
    Maybe you could do a episode on the Ninja Creami as a substitute for the Pacojet. I think the Creami is a really breakthrough kitchen gadget for the home coo /chief.

    I want to make this to serve as a spread on toast made with my amazing “real three day femenrtyed” sourdough bread.

    I think ravioli stuffed with nduja and some fine grated cheese would be quite delicious, with a garlicky red sauce.

  • This spreadable Nduja will be a perfect addition to our wine, cheese, and crackers plate. It may also be a tasty and colorful deviled egg variation.

    this sounds amazing. we were going to get custom sausage charcuterie from a small local butcher but we would have had to buy the whole hog. that is a lot of charcuterie for a family. these bags seem like the perfect option

    I would like to try the ‘Nduja in my lasagna recipe

  • Oh, my! This looks amazing. With Mardi Gras coming up, my thoughts turned to jambalaya and ways to intensify it’s flavors, but on a more immediate level, a good pasta al forno with this Nduja in its base is demanding a place on the menu. BTW, your sandwich is an inspiration.
