    Why we ❤️ it

    This is one of those dishes that we sometimes get a craving for, the quintessential comfort food: It is easy and quick to make, inexpensive, with easy-to-find ingredients (at least in the DR), and very tasty.

    Dominican salami

    You may be befuddled to hear that we have a dish of stewed salami, and think to yourself "why?!". What you need to know, if that thought crossed your mind, is that Dominican salami is not like Italian salami, with which it shares the bare basics.

    The Dominican salami is a kind of potted meat product, and unlike the Italian salame (plural is salami), or the French saucisson, or the Spanish salchichón, which are consumed uncooked in thin slices, the Dominican version is rarely preferred uncooked. The most popular way to serve it is as part of "mangú con los tres golpes", our iconic breakfast.

    You can read more about the history of Dominican salami.

    Salami guisado.

    As a cheap source of protein, Dominican "salami" or "salchichón" once endured a reputation that seems to have been mostly eradicated by the advent of standard industrial processes and --one hopes-- tighter governmental regulations on meat sources. Dominican salami ingredients are no longer a secret, and the biggest, most reputable brand is now owned by a British conglomerate.

    You can enjoy your salami with relative peace, mindful only, I assume, of the fact that, like other similar processed meat products, it is not exactly the healthiest choice one can make.

    But, una vez al año no hace daño*.

    Serving suggestions

    Salami with plantain is always a hit. Serve tostones or mangú. Other excellent options are yuca and arroz blanco (white rice).

    About this recipe

    There are not that many recipes for Salami Guisado, it's a bare-basics type of food in our country. Sure, you can "fancify" it a bit more, but that surely defeats its purpose. Feel free to make changes as you wish, though. If you can't find Salami where you live, we have a recipe for a homemade, made-from-scratch version.

    Buen provecho!
