How to Make Beans for Gallo Pinto (or anything) | Costa Rica Cooking

This is how I make my beans in preparation for Gallo Pinto! You asked for it!
I'm probably going to get hate for putting a bunch of Lizano into the beans 🤣 But for me, it works for when I am going to make Gallo pinto, and my side dish of beans never fails to excite at my dinner table

You can use a pressure cooker to cut the time. Once it start to whistle, put a timer for 16 minutes black beans and 20 on red. Take them off the heat then the time is up and let it sit there until the pressure is gone. They will be ready, then add the onions, garlic and cilantro

Thanks so much for sharing! I am that person who prefers to soak and cook, my husband always tells me the same 😅 But I feel that the soaking really unlocks the nutrients in the beans!

[@Ty2Tito]

🤣🇨🇷🤭❤️ What you mean is The you are turning more Tica every time you cooking Pinto. 🇨🇷❤️🤭 Love it.

[@EmmainCostaRica]

obvio 😉 haha thanks for enjoying!

I cook beans here in West Virginia and I make them I add the salt and minced garlic at the beginning. I am going to copy the touch of the sweet pepper. I use the lizano sauce at every meal and I do not add it to the whole pot, good tips. thank you !!

[@EmmainCostaRica]

Thanks for sharing Ronald!! One time I added salt from the beginning and beans didn’t get nice and soft 🥲 so now I am too afraid to do it haha! I am really glad to hear that I was able to give you some ideas for your batches of beans 🥰🥰 thanks for watching!!

Ayyyy Emma is back with another cooking video (cooking with Emma lol)! Gallo Pinto sounds delicious! I think the best dishes are those that take time for sure. I like the little Italian gesture at 10:02 - 10:05 kind of near the end of the video as you are tasting the Gallo Pinto jajaja (not sure where Emma is; probably she was in Italy for some time then reverted back to Costa Rica... Emma in Italy confirmed?) Thanks for another awesome cooking video :) Looking forward to more as always

[@EmmainCostaRica]

Hahaha, me and my Italian gestures, mamma mia! The best dishes do take time, to get all those flavors working!!! Thanks for enjoying Tony!

🍽👌🏻

[@Marco-wp9dh]

add some thyme and a couple of teaspoons of simple cane sugar. Thank me later!

[@EmmainCostaRica]

Great Suggestion! I will!

[@billgalli5991]

I’d add some sautéed garlic and onion to this.

[@EmmainCostaRica]

Gooood tip! Thanks for watching :)

[@joules_sw]

Protip: always condiment with only salt, garlic and oregano. They're gonna last more. Only add onion for refriying

[@EmmainCostaRica]

This is a good point for everyone, the beans at my house go so fast, so it isn't much of a concern hehe

[@lindsayrollin4291]
