Today’s photo is from Nuria in Costa Rica. It’s a typical Costa Rican lunch dish called casado.

According to Nuria, this is just one variation of casado. She wrote:

It is basically made of rice, beans, meat (either beef, fish, chicken or pork), salad and plantains. The one in the picture has rice, refried beans with chips, beef with lots of onions on top of it, tortillas, plantain and “chimichurri” (tomatoes and cilantro with lime juice). It is delicious!

Check back next week for the last photo in our Picture Postcards lunch series.

In August we’re looking for photos of Everyday People. If you have one to share please add it to our Flickr group with the tag ‘everydaypeople’.
