Belqui’s Dominican Locrio: Battle of the Arroz con Pollos!

Описание: Arroz con pollo is one of THE defining dishes of Latino cuisine. While they have a lot in common, the recipes for this staple dish can vary a lot. (For example, typically Cubans add beer, Puerto Ricans use achiote oil, Dominicans add soy sauce to their versions). That got us wondering. Which Latino locale do YOU think makes the best arroz con pollo?

Defending the honor of Dominican arroz con pollo, called locrio, is Belqui Ortiz-Millili who grew up in the Washington Heights, New York City. As a kid, she regularly traveled between the D.R. and New York, and learned to cook at a very young age by watching her mother and grandmother, she tells Familia Kitchen. Today, Belqui and her family live in Arizona, where she runs her cooking website Belqui’s Twist. “This is the first recipe I learned to cook at age 12. Why? Because it was one of my favorite dishes to eat. I perfected it quickly and I was so proud of how much my family liked my cooking of it, that I made it every week. I can very confidently and humbly say that I make the best one you may ever have.”
