“Fried” optional I suppose, but I would love to get a couple of peoples’ favourite recipes for ways to cook beans for eating with rice.
I would prefer not just re-posted recipes from the internet if that isn’t too snooty.
Bonus points if it requires me to add more spices to the cupboard.


looks like I’ve finally found something that I can’t source. there are importers who had it at one point but it looks to be out of stock everywhere.
this is one of those things where I wouldn’t dare to try and substitute without being very familiar the real deal I think. weird that the sauce is so hard to get here, it looks like half of costa rican cooking is built on top of it (kidding/sorta). I’mma try to remember to seek this out though cuz I just read a long blog post waxing lyrical about Salsa Lizano and it sounds very special.
Yeah I think I’ve only ever seen it in a latin american grocery store once years and years ago, I got turned on to it by a friend who had spent time in Costa Rica traveling. there’s an online grocer up here in Canada that I recently found that stocks it, I got incredibly excited to find it again. it is an incredibly unique taste!
