Gallo Pinto

Add the oil and garlic to a large deep pan or saucepan and heat it on medium-heat until the garlic starts sizzling. Add the onion and peppers and sauté until the onions are softened.

Add the rice to the onions and fry for 10 minutes, stirring continuously so the rice doesn’t stick to the pan.

Add the cumin, beans, red wine, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine is absorbed.

Serve topped with fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
