What does salami mean?

3 published definitions

salami

A very popular sausage in the Dominican Republic, typically served fried alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or mangu. It is the comfort food Dominicans miss most when they are abroad. (Dominican salami is a specific type of processed meat meant for cooking, unlike European-style cold cuts, and mangu is a traditional dish of mashed green plantains.)

1) This afternoon we are going to make a 'friki taqui' (two fried plantains with a slice of salami in the middle). 2) Yesterday I was at Rosa's place and she was cooking a salami rice dish.
