  1. This was a very interesting dish - different from other beans and rice dishes I've had, but in a good way. I shredded the carrot and added a little extra sherry & balsamic. It is a little dry, since there is no "sauce" to speak of, but the flavor is very nice. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  2. That was ok ....
     
  3. This recipe is great. The earthiness of the thyme combined with the balsamic vinegar gave wonderful flavor. The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is that I did add twice the liquid to give it the right flavor/coverage. But, overall, very good. Easy to make. It's part of our rotation!
     
  4. We enjoyed this dish ~ DH more than I since I am not huge beans and rice fan. I agree with Bunny Mom that these servings are BIG! I made as posted and it was very easy. I served with Jerk Chicken. Thanks for posting!
     
  5. This was very good. I liked that it is not a soupy kind of Black Beans & Rice. These are also very generous serving sizes!
