I was actually kind of surprised at how tasty this was. It was a little bit of a pain to make though, taking several pots & pans, and the recipe forgets to tell you what to do with the plantains after frying them - I assumed they just get mixed in with everything else. - 11/7/10

Whoops! Sorry about that.
Yeah, the plantains are included in "mix all the vegetables into the bean mixture." I'll be more specific. Thanks.
It's a bit pot/pan intensive but it makes so much that I forgive it the hassle. I get dinner plus a week's worth of lunches! ;)
