One of the most traditional dishes of Costa Rica is gallo pinto, their take on the rice and beans classic. Fun fact: gallo pinto is most often served for breakfast! Rice, beans, eggs, and coffee? Yes please!

A few special cooking methods and ingredients make it SO yummy, and Chef Patrick of Tamarindo Diria and Jardin del Eden hotels shared his recipe with us on the recent Fitness, Food & Fun retreat! Read on for the step-by-step.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup rice (Tip: For the best consistency, use precooked rice from the day before)
  • 1/2 cup black beans (soaked in water overnight and cooked in salted water until soft) - or from a can to make it a even easier
  • 2 tablespoons onions in small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons bell pepper in small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
  • Salt, Pepper, Salsa Lizano (special ingredient!), Coconut oil, Tabasco
Instructions:
  1. Heat up some coconut oil in a frying pan
  2. Add onions and bell pepper
  3. After one minute, add the rice while stirring constantly 
  4. When the rice starts getting crispy add the beans with a little of its water 
  5. Finalize with the spices and herbs depending on your taste
