Ingredients

Method

• 2 red peppers, seeded and roughly chopped 
• 1 onion, cut into wedges 
• 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled

Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a tray with baking paper.
2. Place the peppers, onion and garlic on the tray. Drizzle with 2 T olive oil, season with smoked paprika, salt and pepper, then roast for 20–25 minutes, or until softened and starting to char. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze the garlic from its skin.
3. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add the salami sticks, remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and spreadable, adding a splash of water if necessary.
4. Spoon into a jar and cover with a thin layer of olive oil. Store in the fridge for up to a week.

Cook’s note: Spread onto warm bread, stir into pasta, or add to soups and stews for an instant flavour boost. We’ve served the n’duja on a cheeseboard with olives and ricotta.
