How to Make Aida S Gallo Pinto
- Sauté 1 medium onion and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 ½ cups chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in 1 cup rice, 1 cup black beans (rinsed and drained), ½ cup water, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Bring back to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice and beans are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If needed, remove the lid during the last few minutes of cooking to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
