    That’s a genius idea.

    Thanks all...it is excellent, a bit oily @ the end but blotted it with paper tiwels and that was all that was needed ...

    @Ozzie_Isaac 1.5% salt .25% cure 1 .2% black pepper .4% dried crushed Calabrian peppers .4% crushed fennel.4% smoked paprika ....just enough liquid to blend and thin it out so you can spread it on the slices ...i didn't want to just " mix by hand" the pork as I didn't want to destroy the slices ...

    phenomenal! 

    Bridget stopped by Trader Joes on the way home from work.  They had the calabrian peppers in oil.  (I put a dent in the huge dried calabrian pepper jar)

    She sent me this picture of the refrigerated section from wed:

    WOW this is great - I make a Calabrian oil that goes in every tomato based pizza we make - interesting flavors that are not just heat.
