Instructions
Preparation
- Gather and prep your supplies: Lay out a cutting board and a plate for finished roses. Have your rosemary stems and salami slices ready.
- Fold each salami slice into a petal shape: Fold one slice in half lengthwise to form curved petal edges.
- Roll the folded slice into a rose shape: Start at one end and spiral the slice snugly, ensuring that the edges overlap.
- Secure the rolled salami onto a rosemary stem: Pierce the base of the rolled salami with the rosemary to secure it as a flower on the stem.
- Repeat and arrange: Continue making more roses and place them on a platter or in jars.
- Optional finishing touches: If using, spread cream cheese on the platter and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
Notes
Keep all ingredients at room temperature before assembly for best results. Assemble in batches to maintain the shape.
