How to Make Gallo Pinto
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables become soft and the onion turns translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the cooked black beans and season with ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps and mixing it with the bean mixture. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the rice is heated through and begins to develop a slightly crispy texture.
- If desired, add a few dashes of Salsa Lizano or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve Gallo Pinto hot, garnished with chopped cilantro. It's often accompanied by fried or scrambled eggs for a traditional Costa Rican breakfast.
- Enjoy your authentic Costa Rican Gallo Pinto as a delicious and satisfying meal!
