Menestra
A term for cooked legumes, such as beans or lentils, served as the main side dish for rice at lunch. It is an essential staple for those doing heavy physical labor due to its high energy content.
Stop by that fonda for me to buy a good plate of rice with lentil menestra, because today I have to work hard at the construction site. (A fonda is a small, traditional eatery.)
