Our Pairing Suggestion
The spicy soppressata suggests a soft, dry red with smoky overtones and some spice to match, such as a Dolcetto from Piedmont.
Recipe: Soppressata-Wrapped Pork
- MAKE-AHEAD
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into eighteen 3-inch lengths
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 pound very thinly sliced soppressata
- 6 large rosemary branches
- 2 large red onions, cut into 2-inch wedges
- Vegetable oil, for the grill
- In a large bowl, mix the wine with the olive oil. Add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Drain the pork and discard the marinade. Lightly season the pork with salt and season generously with pepper. Overlap 2 slices of soppressata on a work surface; put a length of pork in the center and roll it up in the soppressata. Repeat with the remaining soppressata and pork.
- Strip 2 inches of leaves from the thick end of the rosemary branches. Using a sharp paring knife, whittle the ends to points. Thread 2 onion wedges onto each branch followed by 1 pork bundle; repeat twice.
- Light a grill. Lightly brush the grate with vegetable oil. Grill the skewers over a medium-low fire, turning until the pork and onions are cooked through and the soppressata is crisp, about 12 minutes. Serve at once.
