BLACK BEANS AND RICE
4 Responses to BLACK BEANS AND RICE
  1. I have to avoid tomatoes. Do you have an alternative to suggest for this recipe. Thank you.

    • Sure. Cooking is fun when we can be flexible with ingredients. You can add peas, additional onions,cabbage chopped small and sauteed. I do suggest you add 1/4 cup of additional water or broth in step number 5 to compensate for the tomato water.

  2. English isn’t my first language. My question is the recipe says 1/2 red pepper, chopped.. Is this Chili pepper of Red bell pepper.

    Thank You,
