- 1 tablespoon oregano (dry, ground)
- 1 tablespoon pepper (freshly-cracked, or ground)

Instructions
Salami frito

Homemade Dominican salami
1. Making seasoning
- Place onion, garlic, oregano, pepper, salt, bija, and flour in the food processor. Pulse until you obtain a coarse paste. Set aside.
2. Grind meat
- Place the minced beef in the food processor and pulse for two minutes, by then the meat would have turned into a smooth paste. Add in egg whites, bacon, and the seasoning paste. Pulse until the bacon is chopped finely. Remove from the processor and place in a bowl. Cover with plastic film and chill for two hours.
3. Rolling
- Roll out a very large piece of heat-safe plastic wrap (about 1 yard [1 meter]), and lay it flat on the countertop. Place the meat mixture on it and form a log. Wrap in the film, rolling until the end, leaving at least two inches at the ends.Place the meat mixture on it and form a log. Wrap in the film, rolling until the end, leaving at least two inches at the ends. Tie the ends with a knot (or using an oven-safe tie-wrap). Return to the fridge.
4. Pre-cooking
- In the meantime, fill a large pot with 1 gallon [4 lt] of water. Heat over medium-low heat until it reaches a gentle boil (there are bubbles rising from the bottom of the pot). Lower heat to a minimum (see notes).Place the meat log into a watertight, oven-safe plastic zipper bag, and squeeze all the air out before zipping closed. Place in the pot with the boiling water. Cover and cook for 60 minutes.
5. Finishing
- Remove the salami from the pot and cool to room temperature. Chill.If you are going to slice, do it right out of the refrigerator because it is easier. To fry follow the instructions in the first step of the recipe.
Notes
- Make sure you cook it over very low heat, just enough to see bubbles rising from the bottom of the pot. You do not want the plastic to melt, it may be food safe, but not edible.
- A few things to keep in mind:
- The salami is not as perfectly round as the store-bought kind, but I got my logs pretty round and even. It is also not as compact as the industrial kind. I had to be a bit careful when cutting and manipulating.
- There is no preservatives in this (other than salt and seasonings), so observe the same storage guidelines as any other cooked meat. You can also cut it into slices and divide into serving sizes and freeze for later use.
