Method
- Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder.
- Using a meat grinder, grind the pork shoulder into a coarse mixture.
- In a bowl, combine black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, sugar, kosher salt, and pink curing salt.
- Add the spice mixture to the ground pork and mix thoroughly by hand.
- Pour in the white wine (or vinegar) and mix until fully incorporated.
- Form the mixture into a log shape, about 4 inches in diameter.
- Tightly wrap the log in plastic wrap, ensuring no air pockets are present. Securely tie the ends with butcher twine.
- Place the wrapped meat in a cool, dry place or curing chamber for 3-4 weeks.
Notes
Capicola can be enjoyed on its own or used in sandwiches and charcuterie boards.
