Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets in Nassau or Freeport. Look for the salsichão in the deli or cured meats section; if unavailable, a high-quality smoked sausage can be used as a substitute. Use any light, crisp lager for the beer base.

- Sauté the grated onion in the oil using a heavy-bottomed pot.
- Add the chopped salsichão to the pot and brown it lightly.
- Stir in the rice and sauté for a few minutes until well-coated.
- Pour in the light beer, the beef bouillon dissolved in the boiling water, and the chopped olives.
- Stir all the ingredients thoroughly to combine.
- Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until all the liquid has been fully absorbed.
- Serve immediately while hot.
