A locrio is a common Dominican dish similar to paella. Like paella, there are many variations. The main point is to have a little tomato sauce/paste for coloring, and some caramelized sugar. In that way it is similar to the Trinidadian pilau. Like paella, the rice at the bottom should be toasted or browned, but not burnt. This browned rice is called "concon". You're not considered a good cook until you can do this.
