Costa Rican lunch platter of rice, beans, beef and accompaniments.
About Casado
Christa Jimenez’s favourite casado brings Costa Rican white rice, black beans and beef in red sauce together on one large lunch plate. This named selection reflects the meal’s traditional combination of protein, vegetables and starch.
Chayote picadillo, fried plantains and fresh cheese offer contrasting savoury and sweet elements. Lettuce, carrot and lime accompany chimichurri and Salsa Lizano.
A fried egg completes the generous arrangement. The publisher specifies warm service, with Costa Rican encurtido described as a traditional optional drizzle.
