Who doesn’t love pepperoni? Contrary to popular belief, this dry salted sausage doesn’t come from Italy, but rather from the United States. This deli meat is appreciated for its tender taste and texture, but often used for its versatility. Everything tastes better with pepperoni. Want to add it to your recipes, but are short on culinary inspiration? Toujours Mikes comes to the rescue with these tasty pepperoni recipes just for you.

A typical, but so, so good pepperoni recipe

The most obvious way to use this sausage is of course as a topping for pizza. Hey, why reinvent the wheel when you don’t have to? After all, pepperoni pizza is the second most popular pizza choice after cheese. For the best pizza ever, get some frozen dough from the grocery store, puff it up, sprinkle a little flour on a work surface before spreading the dough and rounding off the preparation by adding your favourite tomato sauce and as many slices of pepperoni as you like. When done, place the pizza on a hot baking stone and bake at 500°F for about 15 minutes. For an even easier experience, stop by the restaurant and let Toujours Mikes indulge you. Our pizzas are so, so good.

A classic dish reworked with pepperoni

Do you love Caesar salad, but want to shake things up a bit? Instead of adding the typical crumbled bacon, make a change and replace it with pepperoni fried in a pan. This simple idea takes you off the beaten track without getting too far from the original recipe. Another option is adding this deli meat to your pasta salads. Take cooked short pasta, add a little oil and vinegar, a good helping of parmesan cheese, your favourite spice blend, pepperoni, cubed cheese and a few cherry tomatoes cut in half. Feel free to slice the sausage a little thicker for this recipe.

A tasty submarine that makes waves

Of all the best submarines, which one is the superstar? The pepperoni sub, of course. No wonder it is so often featured on menus across the country. Take a freshly toasted submarine bread with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, onions, tomatoes and crispy lettuce drizzled with herb oil, and what do you get? A Hot Luke like at Toujours Mikes! This sausage also goes very well with steak slices, mushrooms and green peppers in submarines, as demonstrated by the popularity of our Superstar.
