Nutty Rice and Black Beans
"Delicious rice and bean dish with a great aroma. I find it to be a very comforting food. It's healthy and full of fiber but still tastes wonderful! I usually make it the night before and take it to work for lunch the next day; it's good reheated. I always cook for one, myself, so this is a single serving recipe, but I'm sure it can be easily multiplied."

This was a little bland, but perfect to go with my jerk chicken. I didn't have brown rice, so I made jasmine and I cooked it in coconut milk with jerk seasoning and a little cayenne (then I followed the recipe exactly); it made a great compliment to my chicken! I'm sure we'll be making this again! -
This is my idea of ideal comfort food. I changed the cheese to pepper jack because that's what I had on hand and it added a lot of pizzazz to the finished dish. Dh added some additional hot sauce to his portion and everyone was happy. -
I found this recipe to be a bit bland, but I liked the almonds taste and texture. I would make this again for myself, but would try to spice it up a bit. -
Really yummy and filling!
