Had a Full English for lunch - so I may not bother too much about dinner 馃榾
been trying to get Gallo Pinto to taste authentic at home for a few weeks now, any tips? how do they do it..
Gallo pinto? From which country?
Costa Rica! fell in love with it while I was there and ate it at nearly every meal.
Ah ! The Nica is better 馃榾
Now, the key is the type of red beans, small red one (softer than the Mexican ones for example). Once cooked (boiled) than you should stir them with some onions, red pepper, a bit of garlic. You cook the rice on the side, and then you add the rice to the beans so it takes the colour.
Some good chile and you're set 馃榾
I think my issue is with the flavour, I can't get it to taste quite the same. maybe I'm not adding enough onions/garlic+cilantro?
As happens most nights for the past few years, I'm taking my dinner in liquid form. Tequila tonight but usually whiskey. A lot of scotch seems to fill me these days.
