Salami Crisps with Thyme Sour Cream and Fresh Ahi Tuna



Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with aluminum foil. Arrange the sliced salami in a single layer over the baking sheets. Bake until the salami slices are amber brown, watching closely to ensure they brown evenly, about 15 minutes. Transfer the salami crisps to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to absorb the excess oil. Set aside to cool. Mix fresh chopped Thyme into sour cream - don't superslice - leave it to the point that the thyme is left in big lovely chunks. Spoon a dollop of the thyme sour cream on top of each salami crisp. Add a thin slice of high grade Ahi Tuna and serve. (Salami Crisps can be made overnight and kept in a tupper - but not for more than 24 hours or so)

Super easy and powerfully flavorgasmic!

We took them to David's condo complex New year's celebration and they were a huge hit. The luxuriousness of fresh Ahi with the salami crisps is delicious! The salami turns out the consistency and shape of a cracker. it's lovely!

That is very interesting. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the combination, I can't quite picture what it tastes like. But it is good to know the salami crisp trick for a whole lot of reasons. Not many Atkins dieters around anymore, but I do like to include a no-carb appetizer at parties.

its a salty smooth taste. It really was a hit at the party. the actual recipe is simply the crisp with sour cream on it - and that seamed well - - BORING and the ahi - creates a nice smooth bite or two.

OMEGA I love ahi tunaaaa. I think I may just have to get sushi for dinners tonight! How much did that set you back for all the tuna?

I only bought 2/3 of a pound - it was $12.75 I think.

Yeah but that still looks like quite a bit of meat :) Mmm tuna. Ya know, if the mercury wouldn't kill me, I'd eat the stuff every single day. Oh the mercury and the cost. More the mercury though...I think.

thin slices photographed VERY close. the actual crisps are about 1.5" diameter.
