Refried Teriyaki Beans #KikkomanSaborLBC #ad

I’m super happy to be pair up with Kikkoman again and share with you this delicious and different recipe, that I know you are going to love.
These different refried beans are a huge success in my house, my kids love beans you know we as a latino family beans and rice are on hand all the time.

I made this recipe very frequently, specially when we have to bring a side to a party, super easy to make, and with only 9 ingredients I’m sure any guest or family member is going to be happy eating these beans.
Japanese-Americans in Hawaii added fresh ginger, brown sugar, pineapple juice and green onions to produce the teriyaki we know and love, and these are the flavors I love, the sweet and spicy flavors that Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinare & Sauce gives to my beans are so unique and different that they are completely out of the box of any other kind you ever tried.

This recipe is going to complement any kind of meat or rice you choose to be pair with, it is unique in flavor, so remember to use complementing spices in your main dish. And of course, don’t forget to bring Kikkoman sauces to the table this summer, and reinvent, your recipes with these amazing flavors.

This is literally 101 Costa Rican cuisine.
Traditionally all Costa Ricans should know how to do this dish. I tell you a little story, many years ago in Costa Rica that best work was to collect coffee.
Those who did, got up very early and went to what we call coffee farms to collect enough and that way earn the money for that day.
Usually they need a meal to give them lots of energy, thus was born the Gallo Pinto.
Is accompanied with homemade tortillas and plantains.
My grandmother told me that she usually had to make the lunches for the whole family and take them to where they were harvesting coffee.
I know it is eaten in many countries this type of dish, and we Costa Ricans are very proud of this tradition inherited from our grandparents.
Enjoy it.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups cooked black beans (can use fresh beans or a can of 15 oz.)
3 cups cooked long-graind rice from day before

DIRECTIONS

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and saute onion and red bell pepper. Add beans stir well, add the rice.
Add the Worcestershire sauce or Lizano sauce, salt and pepper, cook for 5 minutes until all ingredients are well blended. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro.
Serve with tortillas and sour cream.

GALLO PINTO TRADICIONAL

Esto es literalmente cosina costarricense 101.
Por tradición todos los costarricenses deberíamos saber hacer este platillo.
Les cuento un poco de historia, hace ya muchos anos en Costa Rica el trabajo que mas se hacia era recolectar cafe. Aquellas personas que lo hacían, se iban desde muy temprano a lo que llamamos Cafetales para poder recolectar suficiente y de esta forma ganarse el salario de ese día.
Por lo general necesitan una comida que les diera mucha energía, así nació el Gallo Pinto.
Lo acompañaban con tortillas caseras y platano maduro.
Mi abuela contaba que por lo general ella tenia que hacer los almuerzos de toda la familia y llevarlos al lugar donde estaban recolectando el cafe.
Se que en muchos países se come este tipo de platillo, y nosotros los costarricenses también nos sentimos muy orgullosos de esta tradición heredada por nuestros abuelos.
Que lo disfruten.
