COSTA RICAN BREAKFAST BOWL (GALLO PINTO)

Steps:

• Combine the onion, bell pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and jalapeño (if you’re using it) in a large sauté pan. Add 1/2 cup water and sauté the vegetables over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until they are tender, stirring occasionally and adding 1 to 2 more tablespoons water as needed to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan. Add the kale, rice, beans, and 1 cup water and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, folding the ingredients, until the kale has wilted and the liquid has been absorbed.
• Add half of the cilantro and salt to taste and stir to combine. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve with diced avocado on top and a lime wedge.

COSTA RICAN BOILED POTATO RECIPE

Steps:

• Roughly chop the potatoes into evenly sized pieces.
• Place them in a medium saucepan or stockpot and cover with water.
• Stir in the Maggi seasoning. Bring everything to a boil and boil until potatoes are fork-tender.
• While the potatoes are boiling, you can make your sofrito.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, cilantro and garlic and cook on medium heat until the onion is translucent and the red pepper has softened significantly.
• Once the potatoes have cooked, drain all of the water except about 1/2 cup.
• Mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher. You will roughly mash these potatoes- you want some small chunks of potato in there. This doesn't really affect the flavor, but it's the traditional texture of this recipe.
• Add the potatoes to the sofrito and stir until evenly combined.
• You may need to add a bit more oil to the pan to keep the potatoes from sticking as you stir fry.
• Check for salt, and serve!
