1 lb (450 gr.) Black beans. Fresh are best but most likely you’ll find them dried.

8-10 sprigs cilantro (coriander leaf) fresh or frozen, not dried!

1 small or medium onion

½ small red or yellow sweet pepper (optional)

3 cups (700 ml) chicken broth or water

2 cups (350 ml) white rice

½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt

1 Tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil

1-3 Tablespoon oil to fry the Gallo Pinto

Gallo Pinto-Cook the beans, cook the rice

If beans are dried, cover with water and soak overnight, if they are "fresh" (still dried, but only from laying out in the sun like they do in Costa Rica), just rise them off. 

Drain the beans and add fresh water to an inch (2.5-cm) above the top of the beans and bring to a boil. 

Cover the pan and reduce heat to very low simmer until beans are soft (~3 hours). Add salt.

Chop cilantro, onion, and sweet pepper very fine.

Add 1 Tablespoon oil to a large pan and sautรฉ the dry rice for 2 minutes over medium high flame then add half of the chopped onion, sweet pepper and cilantro and sautรฉ another 2 minutes. 

Add water or chicken broth, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer until rice is tender (20-35 minutes). 

This is also the recipe for Tico rice used in other favorites like tamales.

Once the rice and beans are cooked you can refrigerate or freeze them. 

Make up small batches of Gallo Pinto when you want it by simply sautรฉing them together.

Keep a significant amount of the "black water" with the beans (½-1 cup 120-240 ml). 

This is what gives the rice its color and some of its flavor. 

Sautรฉ the rice, beans reserved chopped onion, sweet pepper and cilantro together in vegetable oil for a few minutes. 

Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped cilantro just before serving.

In Guanacaste they sometimes use small very hot red peppers instead of or in addition to the sweet.

 Some people add a tablespoon or so of salsa Lizano or Chilera to the beans while they’re cooking. 

Our friend Mercedes always simmered the beans very slowly all-day and preheated the water or chicken broth for the rice.

Steps

1
In resealable plastic food-storage bag, place cheeses and flour. Shake until cheese is coated with flour.


2
Rub garlic on bottom and side of fondue pot, heavy saucepan or skillet; discard garlic. Add wine. Heat over simmer setting on fondue pot or over low heat just until bubbles rise to surface (do not boil). Stir in lemon juice.

3
Gradually add cheese mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly with wire whisk over low heat, until melted. Stir in kirsch.

4
Keep warm over simmer setting. If prepared in saucepan or skillet, pour into a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl and keep warm over low heat. Fondue must be served over heat to maintain its smooth, creamy texture.

5
Spear bread and fruit with fondue forks; dip and swirl in fondue with stirring motion. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup heated wine.
