Chifrijo
Chifrijo was invented in a San José bar in the 1990s and has since become one of Costa Rica's most beloved bar foods.
A hearty Costa Rican bar snack layering rice, beans, crispy fried pork and fresh pico de gallo, traditionally served in a bowl with tortilla chips for scooping.
Ingredients
Method
Fry pork belly cubes until deeply golden and crisp on all sides.
Mix tomato, onion and lime juice to make a fresh pico de gallo.
Layer rice, then beans, in a bowl.
Top with the crispy pork and pico de gallo, and serve with tortilla chips.
Fry the pork slowly to render the fat before crisping at high heat — this gives the best crunch.
