I've had this recipe in my zaar cookbook for a while, I was waiting to use fresh tomatoes from my garden. Yesterday I finally made it, and was very happy with the result! It was surprisingly flavorful for having so few spices, the cumin was all that was needed. It was very easy as well, it will definitely become a staple for me! I think it was made better by using garden fresh tomatoes too. Thanks for sharing!

This version of navy beans is a great change. The cumin really gives this dish zing. And we have even made this with canned white beans. Just be sure to drain the liquid before procceeding to step 6. A great way to make white beans and rice when you don't have the ham, bacon etc. to flavor a pot of beans or you just want something different.
