Set your choice of glass on a flat surface.

Loosely fold piece of salami in half, and drape it over the rim of the glass. Gently squeeze it on either side of the glass to secure the fold.

Place another folded meat slice on the glass, overlapping the first slice by around 50% - this will depend on the size of your salami, and the diameter of the glass you’re using.

Add 2 more slices of salami to complete the first layer of salami. You should have 4 overlapped slices, evenly spaced around the rim of the glass.

This first layer should be relatively close to the glass on both sides - if it’s not folded tight, you’ll have a big gap between the inner layers of rose petals, and the outer layers.

Use 4 more slices of salami to make the second layer - again, overlapping each other, evenly around the glass. In addition to overlapping each other, they should overlap the first layer.

That is to say, when I start a new layer, I’ll aim to center the first slice of salami over the point where two slices overlap, on the layer beneath.

Continue with another 1-4 layers of salami, depending on the size of your glass.

Each layer AFTER the first layer should be draped a little more loosely, allowing for a bit of space between each layer of petals.

You’ll know you have enough petals when the inside of the glass is basically sealed up with a swirl of salami, with only a small hole remaining at the center.

Place your hand over the covered rim of the glass and press down firmly, to help the layers of salami adhere to each other.

Holding your hand in place on the rim, turn the glass upside down and give it a little twist with your other hand - this will dislodge the tightly folded slices in that first layer.
