Directions

1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add pepperoni and cook for 10-15 minutes, until pepperoni is crispy.
2. Scoop pepperoni out with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined sheet tray to dry. Strain out the oil through a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. You want no visible chunks or crumbs in oil. Reserve oil in a small container to drizzle on final product.
3. Once pepperoni is cooled, pulse down in a robot coupe until you get a small grain. Store in a 1/6 pan at room temp for service.
