Aida's - Gallo Pinto

Description: This is an Authentic Costa Rican dish that my girlfriend's mother used to make us. She just passed in October and we got this recipe just in time. I thought I would put it out there for everyone to enjoy as much as we do.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups black beans, prepared
• 1 cup white rice, prepared
• 3/4 small white onion
• 3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
• 4 tablespoons Lizano sauce (you can get it on the internet)
• pepper

Steps:

1. Sauté onions and garlic until soft.
2. Add chicken stock bring to simmer.
3. Combine all other ingredients and bring back to a simmer.
4. Sauté off moisture to desired consistency (I like it on the wetter side).
