Locrio

A classic Dominican one pot rice dish prepared with meat, fish, or vegetables. The name comes from merging locro (a South American stew) and criollo (Creole), literally meaning Creole stew. (Unlike the stews of South America, the Dominican Locrio is a rice-based meal where all ingredients are seasoned and simmered together).

Chicken Locrio, Pork Chop Locrio, Sardine Locrio, and an endless variety of locrios limited only by the creativity and ingredients available in any Dominican kitchen.
