What is 'Nduja?
Pronounced /en-DOO-yah/
Definition
'Nduja is a soft, spreadable Calabrian pork salami loaded with roasted chile, spicy enough to season an entire dish with a spoonful.
It melts on contact with a hot pan, staining sauces bright red and adding heat plus cured-pork depth at the same time.
A tablespoon stirred into tomato sauce, spread under pizza cheese, or melted over roasted vegetables does more than a whole jar of chile flakes.
Larry says
One spoonful in the pepper pan and people ask what the secret is.

Quick answer
How do you make a sausage and peppers sandwich?
Split a seeded Italian hero, toast the cut sides in the sausage pan, lay the whole sausage in first, then pile the peppers and onions on top so the juices soak down instead of through. Provolone under the sausage melts into a seal that keeps the bread intact.
