Have to share this. We first tried Gallo Pinto in Costa Rica and loved it.
It's the closest thing Costa Ricans have to a national dish. Very tasty,
very colorful, very quick.
Gallo Pinto
1 cup raw brown rice (steamed)
5 cans (16 oz) black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 chopped onion
2 large green peppers, chopped or diced
2 large red peppers, chopped or diced
2 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
4 Tbs. veg. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbs. tobasco sauce
1 scant Tbs. salt
2 pkgs. chopped, frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed)
Spray large casserole dish with something like Pam. (We used a LARGE, round
Le Creuset dish.) Cook rice ahead (we used a steamer so that the rice
wouldn't stick together). Saute peppers, onions, spinach, and seasonings.
Add rice and mix. Add rinsed beans and mix. Heat through (covered). Enjoy.
