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.
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Cover and let simmer until vegetables are soft and flavors have melded, about 15 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Spice it up according to taste. You can use cooked red beans instead of black.
