Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

i'm cuban and i grew up eating this dish, when you add vinigar add alittle sugar and also add about 4 tablespoons of tomato sauce, makes a big difference, real garlic is also better, hope this helps anyone
I'd try it except for the calories!!!! How big is a serving? Is it really nearly 500 calories?
so it says 6 cups of rice, so you have one cup of rice and 1/6 of the beans is aserving. If you look that up the calories are correct. You can reduce the amount of rice if you want less calories
Sounds wonderful. I love black beans and am always looking for ways to up my protein since I don't eat much meat.
This is a very good meal in itself. I have read that rice & beans combined, makes a complete protein. Being partiallyl vegetarian, having food like this is very important.
When I make beans similar to these, I add quite a bit of salsa (vinegar and pimiento) and some cumin. When serving, I plop in a tbsp of low fat or non fat sour cream.
Ok but needs some spicing up. I'm assuming you divide the calories by 6 since it says it makes 6 servings?
Thanx! Looking forward to trying this. Love Caribbean & Mediteranean dishes lately. Question the Nutrition values though. Like aforementioned, there is no way I could eat a cup of rice OR a lb of beans!
How much is 1 Serving? How many servings does this make?
91 grams of carbs per serving?!! Ouch!
I will definatly try this! however I don't think the nutritional info per serving is correct.
Note that the calorie count is for a whole cup of rice PLUS 1/6 of the beans. That's a much larger helping than I would normally serve per person. That said, beans & rice are one of the most nutritious, satisfying foods around. Try cumin, cayenne, tarragon for flavor.
Great recipe!!! But I would try it with some yellow rice. There are so many healthy ways, you can make yellow rice. Store bought has too much sodium.
I think the calories is for the whole thing not one serving. Very tasty and satisfying.. I feel good when I eat this.
Slomehow, I doubt the "479.6 calories per serving" is correct
A good base, very filling. A lot of satisfaction per calorie. However, "Caribbean" did not come to mind, it was very bland and there are no spices to speak of in this recipe. Some additional sea salt at the table perked it up though, and next time I will add spices to the beans during cooking.
