These were really boring. The amount of water in the recipe cannot be right. 2 cups? There's no way after adding 2 cups of water and then covering tightly, that you'd ever need to add more water later. You're going to have at least that much liquid if not more at the end. It was basically boiled beans left in a garlic water. Not much flavor at all. -
