Description
This classic dish in Costa Rica is a flavorful combination of black beans and rice with cilantro. It is typically eaten at breakfast alongside scrambled eggs and corn tortillas.
Ingredients
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- ¼ cups Onion, Diced
- ⅓ cups Red Bell Pepper, Diced
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans
- 1-½ cup Cooked Rice (Brown Or White)
- 2 Tablespoons Salsa Lizano (See Note)
- ⅛ cups Fresh Cilantro, Finely Chopped
Preparation
In a large skillet over medium heat, saute garlic, onion and red bell pepper in the canola oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans (liquid included), cooked rice, Salsa Lizano and cilantro. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes or until hot throughout.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a scrambled egg and warmed corn tortillas on the side.
Note: Salsa Lizano is a vegetable and spice sauce made in Costa Rica. Check your local Latino market or find it online. This dish is just not the same without it.
