Start by cleaning the herring fillets and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Chop the bell pepper, onion, and garlic.

Prepare the Ingredients

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the herring pieces to the pot and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly browned.

Add Herring

Stir in the rice and tomato sauce, ensuring everything is well combined.

Add Rice and Tomato Sauce

Pour in the water, add bay leaves, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to mix.

Add Water and Spices

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

Cook the Locrio

Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat. Fluff with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro before serving.
