While traveling in Costa Rica you will come across ¨Gallo Pinto¨, wherever you go. Translated literally it would be ¨Painted Rooster¨ - well to everybody´s surprise it is Costa Rica´s typical breakfast, made from rice and black beans.

To make Gallo Pinto for 4 people you need:

- 4 cups of cooked rice (prepared the day before)

- 2 cups of black beans in its own sauce

- cilantro

- 1 onion

- 1 red pepper

Put the diced onion in a large pan and let it fry until it is glazed , add diced red pepper and cilantro. Put in black beans and rice - add salt- cook for 5 minutes - READY

Buen provecho !!!!
