Dulano Mortadella mit Pistazien
What it is
This is a type of Italian cold cut, a large pork sausage that is typically made from cured pork shoulder and belly. It is seasoned with black peppercorns, myrtle berries, and a blend of spices. This particular variety is enhanced with the addition of whole pistachios, which add a distinct visual appeal and a subtle nutty flavor to the sausage. The texture is smooth and finely ground, with the pistachios providing small, firm inclusions.
How people cook with it
Mortadella is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple snacks to more elaborate dishes.
- Sliced thinly for sandwiches
- Diced into cubes for antipasti platters

To enjoy, simply remove the casing and slice the mortadella thinly. It is excellent in a classic Italian sandwich with fresh bread, a drizzle of olive oil, and perhaps some arugula. For a more refined presentation, dice it into small cubes and arrange it on a platter with other cured meats and cheeses. It can also be incorporated into warm dishes; finely chopped mortadella can be sautéed and added to pasta sauces or used as a filling for ravioli. Its smooth texture and mild flavor make it a good base for many culinary creations.
