COSTA RICAN GALLO PINTO



Costa Rican Gallo Pinto image

A traditional Costa Rican breakfast and my favorite breakfast recipe. When you serve it, you can add up the Costa Rican famous Lizano sauce (kind of an English sauce) that brings up the gallo pinto's flavor.

Provided by Nat May

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
½ cup chopped celery
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups black beans, rinsed and drained
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and saute until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in black beans with their juices, salt, and pepper. Saute until some of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice.
  • Cover and let simmer until vegetables are soft and flavors have melded, about 15 minutes.
