Brown Rice Gallo Pinto

You might call this arroz y frijoles (rice and beans) moro, or casamiento. We call this great dish Gallo Pinto. Gallo pinto is a typical dish from my country. It is made a little bit different then the other rice and beans. Gallo Pinto is made from cooked rice and cooked beans and it is refried. It is cook different than moro and all the rest of the rice and beans. We also like to add salsa lizano (worshire sauce). We have this for breakfast, lunch or diner it doesn’t matter it is a fabulous dish no matter when you’re craving it. It is also a wonderful dish when you have left over rice and beans.

Gallo Pinto is usually made with white rice. I prepared it with brown rice just because it is healthier. Either way this dish taste amazing.
