Appetizer Challenge - Salami Cones

Here is the recipe for salami cones*:

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a few photos, but the link has some on the web site. Our review... we enjoyed them, but they didn't receive rave reviews.

If you are wondering, why salami? We always have some in the fridge, so I thought it would be fun to find a quick and easy appetizer to make out of it. I will let you know if we improve on this one or find a new one.

*Notes:
  • FYI... capsicum means pepper. The catch... it does not specify bell pepper, red pepper, etc. If you look it up online, you'll find several different explanations. We used a red bell pepper and skipped on red pepper flakes for seasoning to avoid the heat in the cones. However, if I make these again I will try banana peppers for a little heat afterall.
  • You definitely want a pepper of some sort b/c the crunch definitely added to the texture of the dish.
  • Make sure you have salami sliced thick enough to roll into the cone and hold the filling.
  • The mixture needs more seasoning. We added some dried Italian herbs, but next time I'm thinking fresh basil and/or oregano.
  • I'd argue for less sour cream - the mixture was to soft, would have like to see it thicker.
