My Abuela never added celery or chicken stock as was “peasant food” assembled from the leftovers from the previous evening’s meal. No additional salt is needed if you’re using authentic Salsa Lizano, it is quite salty on its own.

This was so good. Such a great flavor and a different flare to the typical bean and rice bowl that I make.

In reply to Tao. Thanks for the info! I was told differently from a waiter when we were in Costa Rica.

Gallo Pinto does not mean “spotted roster.”
Gallo comes from the Hebrew word Galho that means portion of food.
Many Costaricans are of Sephardi Jew background.
Obviously Gallo Pinto does not contain chicken.

So good! My husband is Tico, and we love to have this for Sunday morning breakfast, and sometimes dinner during the week! We always bring back bottles of Lizano Salsa when we go to Costa Rica, it’s hard to find in Canada!

My dad’s from Costa Rica and I’ve always loved my aunt’s Gallo Pinto. I’m excited to make this for my dad!
