    Do you make your Gallo Pinto a specific way? Let us all know! Also, if you were to pair it with something, what would you choose?! Happy cooking🌴

      I use red beans instead of the black one, but still the pinto has several ways to prepare as you said in the video, your pinto looks delicious, thanks as always for sharing please send hello from limón to luis for me... hope someday you can prepare the rice and beans dish...

      Hi Emma! Since I watched your Gallo Pico video from 3 years ago, I just always made it with the beans first. But! TODAY, I made it with the rice first and I TOTALLY AGREE with you!! Today's was BETTER with the rice first! My friend who went to college in Costa Rica (and is from Guatemala), was with me and she agreed. The rice had more flavor! (Probably because it soaked up more of the seasonings, including the Salsa Lizano) And! the beans weren't overcooked and mushy! The one with the rice first hits the tongue with more flavor impact and a more "fresh" of a mouth feel, than beans first. I much prefer the rice first. THANK YOU for your cooking advice and inspiration as a cook from Florida, who is trying new things!! ..... ALSO! I DID add more butter AND I put in the Salsa Lizano, and a little bit of Light Soy Sauce (no more than a couple teaspoons) into the seasoning blend BEFORE I added the rice. Helping to have more of a "wet mixture" and more for the rice to soak in! In turn, I didn't need as much juice from the beans when I added them in. Thanks again! Peace to you and your husband... Joe

    I have seen several different gallo pinto recipes and yours is the best that i have seen. My Tico friends emphasize that the rice and beans have to sit overnight to have the proper texture.

    We were in Costa Rica in July and ate gallo pinto many times. It reminded me a bit of the arroz mamposteao that we eat in Puerto Rico. It’s really good. Will make your version since we came back with a bottle of Lizano. 😋

    What's in with the black beans? Are they just in the liquid out of the can? I'm going to make this as I really enjoy it.

    • @EmmainCostaRica
      @EmmainCostaRica  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Actually they are home cooked, you can find the link to make them at home from dry, in the description of the video! I add chopped onion, bell pepper, and few herbs and spices, plus Lizano sauce! You definitely should try it, they are much tastier this way in comparison to canned!

    Actually, here in "Tiquicia" (Costa Rica) we prepare "Pinto" in many diferente ways,. Indeed, one of those preparations it's called "Burra". This is a combination of Pinto and chopped meat. And sometimes people add spauetti or pork meat to this kind a variation. Chau! Pura vida! Blessings! 👋🏻🧔🏻🇨🇷😊👍

    • @EmmainCostaRica

      Yes! I often put in chicharrones picados to render the fat and get that awesome "porky" flavour, my husband loves it! Thank you for enjoying!

      @EmmainCostaRica  ปีที่แล้ว

      I bought mine just like this, on the same day! Depending on where you are you might have to buy it green and let it get ripe over a couple days. Here in Costa Rica most stores will have both green (not ripe) and yellow/dark (ripe)!

    En mi caso hecho el chile dulce con la cebolla , ya que al dejarlo de ultimo queda casi crudo, lo que si se le hecha hasta el final es el culantro, otros ingredientes que podes ponerle es 2 dientes de ajo bien picados y cebollino, hazlo y me lo vas agradecer

    • @EmmainCostaRica
      @EmmainCostaRica  ปีที่แล้ว

      Si, creo que es lo que hace mucha gente! En mi opinion personal pienso que seria mejor para el sabor, pero mi esposo lo prefiere mas crudo! La proxima vez voy a echar ajo y cebollino, me encanta el cebollino! Gracias 😊

      @@EmmainCostaRica The first time I tried Lizano my daughter-in-law brought it over. I made the same remark: That it tasted very similar to A1 Steak sauce. Very popular in the US. I would say that Lizano is just a less vinegary A1. Hard to say which is the original. A1 boasts that it was created in the early 1800's. Lizano, I think, much later.
