Ingredients
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 small capsicum chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon chopped dried oregano
- 700 ml tomato passata (or your favourite pizza sauce)
- 60 ml olive oil
- 2 sticks cabanossi
- 100 gm hot salami sliced
- 250 gm cream cheese softened
- 250 gm ricotta cheese
- 125 ml milk
- 50 gm Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 50 gm cheddar grated
Instructions
- Oven preheated to 180 C /350 F Heat a large fry pan or shallow sided pot. Add olive oil onions, 1 stick of sliced cabanosi and capsicum and saute on low till starting to soften. Add the herbs, and the garlic and cook till fragrant and softened.
- Add the tomato sauce and simmer on low till reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper (add pre-made pizza sauce if you prefer) and pour into an oven proof dish you can serve in. Set aside
- Mix the ricotta and cream cheese till combined then gradually mix in the milk till smooth
- Start to spread the cream cheese over the top and ( it isn't a runny mix) push it with a spoon to the edges. It doesn't matter if some of the tomato sauce peeks through. Sprinkle the grated cheeses over the cream cheese mixture
- Cut the other stick of cabanosi into thin circles and slice the salami in to strips or quarters, (this way it is easier to eat) and arrange on the top.
- Bake in a very hot oven for 15 minutes.
- I finish mine under the grill so that the top gets melted nicely and the salami is a bit crispy. Once it is bubbly and starting to colour, turn off the grill.
- Let the dip sit for several minutes to cool slightly before feeding to the hungry hordes

Notes
- Use any combination of salami you like. ham, bacon, sopressa. You choose. god forbid you could even add pineapple if you wanted !
