Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and crisp at the edges.
If needed, cook 2 to 3 extra minutes for extra crispness.
Let them cool 3 minutes before unmolding. They firm up as they cool.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook salami cubes until lightly browned.
Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Cook 4 to 5 minutes until soft.
Stir in tomato puree.
Add a splash of water if needed.
Simmer 5 to 7 minutes until slightly thickened.
