How to Make Salami Roses Appetizer

Step 1:

Take one salami. Insert half of it inside the glass and fold it so that the other half of it is outside.

Step 2:

Get another piece. Look at halfway between where the first one extends. That’s where you’re going to start the next piece. Press it down the same way that you did in step 1.

Repeat two more times, until you fill the whole shot glass.

Step 3:

Time for the next layer. Do the same steps that you did for the first layer, making sure they are between the slices. You don’t want to put them in the same position as the first layers. Make sure you are pressing each one down.

Step 4:

Keep doing the same steps. It will take about 10 to 12 pepperoni or salami rounds to make the rose.

Step 5:

Once done, press it on the top and sides so it holds properly, then invert it on your charcuterie board.
