Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- This is another recipe for chocolate salami. The recipe suggests serving it with whipped cream as a decoration.
- Soak the raisins in warm water to cover until needed. Break up the chocolate and place in a saucepan or heatproof bowl with the butter. Place this over another saucepan of gently simmering water until melted (it must not touch the water). Add the sugar, almonds, biscuit crumbs, drained raisins, and candied peel and mix well. Remove from heat. Stir in the egg yolks and let mixture cool completely.
- Form mixture into a salami shape with your hands and place it on a sheet of waxed paper. Seal the paper around it and refrigerate it for several hours. At serving time, remove the waxed paper, slice the salami and arrange the slices on a plate.
- NB: For good presentation, don't slice it all. Cut about a third into slices and serve on a long serving dish with the salami and some slices already cut on the plate. Better yet, serve it on a cutting board to fool the guests!
