El Gallo Pinto From Costa Rica Beans And Rice Recipes

EASIEST COSTA RICAN RICE & BEANS

This recipe was actually posted by TheMom51 in her reply to recipe #78747. I thought I'd post it as a searchable recipe. Her original comment was: Just thought I'd add my Costa Rican daughter-in-law's recipe. It uses the traditional Salsa Lizano (you can order it over the Internet) which is probably why Matoszinho didn't think this recipe was quite right Preparation time does not include time to cook the rice. If you need to cook your rice add an additional 15 minutes to the prep time.

GALLO PINTO (COSTA RICAN BEANS AND RICE)

I encountered this dish on a vacation to Costa Rica. They served it all over the country at breakfast. There is a sauce that they put on it that is very good. It is called Lizano. You can find it in a Latin American grocery.

Steps:

Fresh black beans are the best, but if you can't find them you can use either dried or canned. The recipe is good either way. If you use dried, follow the instructions on the bag to soak and cook them. If you use fresh beans, then place into saucepan, add water to one inch over the beans, salt them, and bring to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid, and reduce heat to a simmer until beans are soft (about 3 hours).
Finely chop the cilantro, onion, and sweet pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large frying pan or wok. Add the rice, cilantro, onion, and sweet pepper and saute over medium flame for about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, and saute for another few minutes until flavor absorbs into rice. Add the beans, saute together for a few minutes, and add fresh cilantro, and turn off heat.
Enjoy.

I found this recipe in a copy of Vegetarian Times. Gallo Pinto translates as "painted rooster", and is a dish eaten by many Costa Ricans almost every day. The addition of ginger and Worcestershire adds a quite unique flavor to this dish.

Steps:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and sauté until it just begins to soften and turns color.
Add garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until onion is golden.
Add spices and Worcestershire, and stir into onion and garlic.
(The first time I made this, I was afraid to add the full 3 Tbsp of Worcestershire, but the addition of the rice balances the flavor out).
Next, add the beans and then the rice.
Combine the rice and beans evenly and cook until mixture is heated through.
Add salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
Garnish with some chopped cilantro or green onions if you prefer.
Vegetarians use only the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce.
