Locrio

Locrio is a cherished rice dish from the Dominican Republic, akin to pilaf and paella. This savory meal typically features seasoned rice combined with various meats such as chicken, Dominican salami, or pork, though it is seldom prepared with beef. There are numerous delectable versions of locrio, incorporating ingredients such as guineafowl, rabbit, pork chops, dried herring (known as arenque), shellfish, and even sardines, locally referred to as pica-pica. Each variation imparts its own distinctive flavor to this traditional Dominican dish.
