ISO Pepperoni Spice Blend recipe

[JustJoel]

Have you ever wanted to add classic pepperoni flavor to a dish, but didn’t want to actually use pepperoni?

Spice blends are quite popular, it seems. Even the Colonel’s 11 herbs and spices have been somewhat unceremoniously leaked. Cajun spice blend, jerk spice blend, Greek spice blend.... Is there a spice blend inspired by the flavors in pepperoni that I can mix up at home?

I did do a quick google search, but none of the hits really stood out to me.

Looking forward to hearing any suggestions! (A pepperoni spice blend would be very tasty on popcorn, I think!)

The problem with obtaining that "pepperoni flavor" with a simple spice blend is that much of the flavor comes from the curing of the meat. When I was looking into making my own pepperoni, years ago, I was surprised at how little, in the way of spices was added to many of the recipes! Unfortunately, I did not have the facilities to cure this type of charcuterie for many months - just couldn't keep the temp. constant for that long.

Interesting! Except this “pepperoni powder” isn’t a spice blend. It’s actually made from pepperoni!

Just google how to make pepperoni, find a recipe you like and use the spice blend..for the salt I would add some powdered beef soup base..mix it up and there you go..

I saw this when I did my quick google search. But red wine vinegar powder? That’s just too out there. And yeah, I don’t have any maltodextrine hanging out either!

I don't think you need maltodextrin for a homemade version.
