This would have been 5 stars except that the soaked beans didn't cook in the time stated. It simmered for 2 hours & they were barely tender. :( I will cook them separately first then add them next time. I did sub parsley for cilantro because i loathe the stuff. We absolutely loved this & I will definitely make it again! Made for If it's September this Must be Labanon! in the NA/ME Forum. You should stop by.... :) Beth
