2 tb Vegetable oil	1/4 c Bean cooking liquid or water
2 lg Onions; sliced thin	1 c Cooked white rice*

Instructions for Nicaraguan Gallo Pinto

*NOTES: Beans: Place 1 c of dry red beans, 6 mashed garlic cloves and enough water to cover in a pressure cooker and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not add salt as it will toughen beans. Rice: Converted rice works best. It can be made in the rice cooker if you prefer, but watch the water rice ratio and cooking time; the rice needs to be firm, not sticky. Heat the oil in a heavy pot and saute onion until lightly golden. Add the cooked beans and liquid, Stir gently and continuously over low heat for about 5 minutes; the beans should remain whole not mashed. Add the cooked rice and continue to stir for about 10 minutes. Taste and add a little salt if desired.
