Pabellón Criollo is a traditional Venezuelan dish, considered the national dish, which incorporates influences from indigenous, Spanish and African cultures from colonial times. Composed of rice, shredded meat in stew and cooked black beans, the dish has variations, such as additions of tajadas (fried banana) or fried egg, each receiving specific designations. Additionally, people can customize the dish with ingredients such as sugar in the beans, palmita cheese or hot sauce. The shredded meat can be replaced with chigüire, alligator meat or freshwater fish, depending on regional preferences, time of year or personal taste.
