Add 1 cup of pecans to a food processor and pulse 4-5 times, until pecans resemble small pebbles in size.
1 cup pecans
Add a little less than ¼ cup of the crushed pecans to the mixing bowl.
Add ½ cup of giardiniera to a food processor and pulse 4-5 times.
½ cup giardiniera
Add pulverized giardiniera to the mixing bowl.
Cut the salami into little squares. I cut twice one way, then turn 90 degrees and cut two more times to create little squares.
15 quarter-size salami slices
Add the chopped salami to the mixing bowl. Mix with a spoon until all of the ingredients are well combined.
Use a cookie scoop* to equally divide the fat bomb mixture into even servings.
Roll each ball in the remaining crushed pecans.
This recipe makes 15 balls (I probably could make 16, but I believe in quality control).
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the fat bombs set up. Store in a covered container for up to 5 days.
Notes
*Using a cookie scoop not only ensures your balls are of equal size, but it helps keep your hands fairly clean. *Nutrition information was calculated using an online nutrition calculator and should be considered estimates.
