Gallo Pinto (beans and rice)

[Chris_in_SoCal]

I made it today with pinto beans. It turned out great. Thanks for giving me the idea to try out.

I also added a tablespoon of turmeric.

That does look good, but I have never seen Lizano salsa sauce. There is a Hispanic grocery store not far away so I'll check there. I can see adding some kind of sausage and making a 1 pot meal

It’s worth finding Lizano, even if you have to order off Amazon. The Gallo Pinto recipes I’ve seen out of Coasta Rica are all over the map ingredients wise, so there really is no ridged recipe. Only that rice, beans and Lizano are in the base, other wise it’s open season. It’s a big breakfast item down there too with eggs.

Occasionally we make Gallo Pinto, which is a rice and bean dish from Costa Rica. This is considered a national dish there and even often eaten with fried eggs for breakfast. However, we like it as a different side dish as the flavor is different and a little bit sweet due to the Lizano Salsa that is used in it. Lizano is an excellent condiment sauce much like steak sauce but sweeter and made of blended vegetables. It is very unique and really cannot be substituted. Get you some Lozano and you will find many uses for this bottled sauce from Costa Rica.

Im making Cornell chicken tonight thanks to Bill’s post. I thought this rice and beans would pair perfectly. Recipe to follow for the Gallo Pinto.
