Mortadella Butter

Mortadella butter is a decadent, creamy, luxurious Italian spread made by blending high-quality mortadella (preferably IGP) with butter, Parmesan cheese, and seasoning, often served on warm baguette.
The IGP label ensures it is not just any "bologna" sausage, but one manufactured according to strict quality rules, setting it apart.

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams Mortadella (from Italy)
  • 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano (grated)
  • 1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
  • Pinch Nutmeg
  • Pinch Black Pepper (course ground)
  • Black Truffle (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a small pan over medium heat melt the butter. Let the butter turn golden then toasty brown. Take off the heat and transfer to a heat proof bowl to stop the cooking.
  • Place the mortadella and Parmigiano in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the warm butter and continue processing until silky.
  • Taste and adjust for seasoning, adding a bit of nutmeg, black pepper and shaved truffle if you like.
  • Form the butter into a log and roll tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the butter until you are ready to serve.
