About Casamiento
Casamiento is a traditional Salvadoran dish combining cooked rice and black or red beans, often seasoned with onion, garlic, and herbs. Its name, meaning "marriage" in Spanish, reflects the harmonious blend of flavors and textures. This staple of Central American cuisine is typically served as a side dish or with eggs, cheese, or avocado for a balanced meal. Nutritionally, Casamiento is rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, making it a heart-healthy option that supports digestion and sustained energy levels. While generally low in fat, variations including added oils, cheese, or processed meats can increase its calorie and fat content. Opting for moderate portions and pairing with fresh toppings can enhance its nutritional profile while maintaining its comforting taste. Casamiento offers a delicious way to enjoy wholesome ingredients rooted in Salvadoran culinary tradition.
