Pabellón criollo (Spanish pronunciation: [paβeˈʝoŋ ˈkɾjo.ʝo]) is a traditional Venezuelan dish that is considered the national dish. It mixes elements from the three different cultures that intermixed during Spanish colonial times: Native Americans, Spanish and Africans. The name is a synonym to flag, since it was one of the main original associations. It is a plate of rice, shredded beef in stew and stewed black beans.
