Gallo Pinto is a rice and beans dish normally eaten in Costa Rica for breakfast, but it can be enjoyed any time! To make this dish, you mix white rice with black beans, and some of the liquid remaining from cooking the black beans. You then flavor it with Lizano salsa (if you have it, and Worcestershire sauce, if you don't). Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Steps to make Gallo Pinto:
  1. Set stove to a medium heat mark. In a thick bottom frying pan with vegetable oil, toss the chopped onions and peppers until soft.
  2. Add minced garlic, and stir in the rice. Adjust stove temperature to high. Mix rice until it's covered with the previous vegetable mix. Cook until it's glossy and crispy.
  3. Add the beans and mix, add the Lizano Sauce (you can get it from any supermarket) the salt and pepper, a pinch of dried oregano and add a little of the bean broth. Add to taste.
  4. The less juice you put gives you a more crispy and fluffy Gallo Pinto. The more you add gives you a moist, soft and gooey consistency. It's all about your own personal choice!
  5. Keep cooking and mixing until you reach the consistency you like. Mix in the cilantro. Mix and serve hot with some sides and drink coffee with it. A hearty breakfast and a good way to use up leftover rice. You can also substitute for canned beans.

You then flavor it with Lizano salsa (if you have it, and Worcestershire sauce, if you don't). Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until it just begins to soften and turns color. Add spices and Worcestershire, and stir into onion and garlic.
