Frequently Asked Questions
We use Dominican salami in this recipe, not Italian salami. Dominican salami is made with pork and spices and it's lightly smokey and salted. It has quite a different flavor profile from the Italian variety.
Locrio de Salami is great for batch cooking and meal prep for the week. Make up a big batch on a Sunday for easy-to-grab meals after a busy day. Once you have cooked the rice and salami, let it cool before storing it in an air-tight container in the fridge, and it will keep well for up to 4 days.
You can reheat it in a pot on the stovetop, with a couple of tablespoons of water to loosen it back up.
This is a hearty and filling meal all by itself, but you can serve it with Dominican beans, Tostones (Fried Plantains), a side salad or with veggies.
