Gayo Pinto.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's a good side dish that has low GI complex carbs, fiber and complete protein all in one? Our Cuban and S. American friends will know it's Rice and Beans! Get a can, or two of black beans (or any type you like) and rinse them well to get rid of the extra salt. Add equal parts cooked brown rice, a cup of good chicken stock, some chopped garlic, a half cup each of chopped tomato and onions, a little cilantro and epazote to taste and simmer it up for 30-45 minutes.
OK, so real Gayo Pinto takes the skilled devotion and love that only your grandma can do right, but this will do in a pinch.
