13 pairings for 'Nduja.

Brot

classic

It is a spread first and a sausage second. Toast is the only requirement.

Burrata

common

Cold milk fat takes the capsaicin down without touching the ferment funk.

Nudeln

common

Spreadable fat melts on contact and turns the water into a chilli emulsion.

Ei

common

Yolk emulsifies the loose red fat and blunts the heat into something round.

Tomate

common

Acid and glutamate stretch the fat into a sauce rather than a slick.

Palmkohl

uncommon

Bitter dark leaves wilted in the melted fat; Calabria eats it this way.

Honig

uncommon

Sugar shortens the burn and lengthens the ferment note behind it.

Ricotta

uncommon

Chilli fat bleeds into cold curd, and the curd puts the fire out.

Mozzarella

uncommon

Chilli fat melts into the curd and stains it orange. Calabria wins.

Brine liquor plus chilli fat, and the shellfish stays the loudest thing.

Sweet flesh under fermented heat; a dab is seasoning, a spoon is a mistake.

Spreadable chilli pork melts into the liquor. Orange, and dangerous.

Calabria already puts chilli in cacao. This just brings the pork fat too.
