An enjoyable, filling beans and rice dish. I made it as written and thought it needed a fair amount of salt to bring the flavors forward. That simple addition made this a winner in my book. Thanks for posting.

this is great recipe! I added in some dried chili flakes and used more than a tablespoon of olive oil, I also added in some chopped zucchini and did some minor amount adjustments, myself and DH enjoyed this, thanks for sharing jonesies!..Kitten
