Costa Rican gallo pinto from The Bean Book: 100 Recipes for Cooking with All Kinds of Beans, from the Rancho Gordo Kitchen (page 181) by Steve Sando

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made with Rancho Gordo’s Negro de Suelo beans. Delicious, fast, simple. I’ll make and eat this on repeat. Don’t forget the Salsa Lizano…you can even add some toward the end.
