What do you do when you have an over abundance of wild game salami in the fridge… you can make these easy salami calzones with fontina cheese, parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, red bell pepper and carmelized onions. Serve with Marinara sauce.
8-10 Venison Calzones
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Cans Pizza Crust Classics by Pillsbury (or your favorite pizza dough recipe)
- 1 cup vension salami chopped
- 1 cup fontina cheese chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup fat free ricotta
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mezetta roasted pepper strips with caramelized onion
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- red pepper flakes (optional)
- olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut pizza dough up into 8-10 squares and place on lightly floured surface. In the center of the dough, add a small amount of ricotta cheese, basil, Parmesan cheese, fontina cheese, venison salami and roasted peppers. Top with a few red pepper flakes. Fold edges of dough over filling and seal. Brush tops of calzones lightly with olive oil. Place calzones on a cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve hot with a side of marinara sauce.
oh sorry and please let us know how it was with the croissants.. that did sound like a good idea too..
i dont have venison salami, but i do have all kinds of venison roast and steaks . so i think what im gonna do is, cook my meat up in oven seasoned my way of course. maybe steak seasoning and throw in lots of vegies and cheese.
i know my hubby and kids will love it. when i grind some up into burger maybe try it that way too. yum o thanks for the idea. been looking for some different ways of eating/cooking the venison i have stock piled in my freezer. = )
I might have to stop by the store on the way home and cook up the rest in croissants – thanks for the suggestion!
You can probably use Summer Sausage as well. I also think that Croissants would work wonderfully.
I bet you can call your local butcher for the salami… or ask a good friend who might be a hunter… As for the Croissants – I think this would be amazing…
That looks good. I wonder if it would come out the same with the croissants?
Where do you get venison salami?
