Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    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.

  3. 3

    Add Herring

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

  4. 4

    Add Rice and Tomato Sauce

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

  5. 5

    Add Water and Spices

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

  6. 6

    Cook the Locrio

    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.

  7. 7

    Finishing Touches

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