"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.

if you can get your hands on some Salsa Lizano from Costa Rica, gallo pinto is super easy and tasty. https://stripedspatula.com/gallo-pinto/

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!
