SO HOW'D IT GO?
I made this as a main dish last night, and it was very easy to make. The instructions are a little lacking, so basically what I did was cook my rice first, then mix the rest of the ingredients in a skillet, and bring it to a good simmer for about 5 - 10 minutes. Then I added the rice, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
My husband found it to be lacking a little in taste, and he added crushed red pepper to his. Next time I make it, I plan to add that to the ingredients as it's cooking. Overall, though, I think it was a very good and easy recipe to make!
perfect! this is exactly what i was looking for. i was sitting here with a bowl of black beans, corn and tomatoes trying to find what spices i should add to it and this was perfect. i also added bacon bits and a splash of olive oil. mmmm.
Simple and delicious! I chilled this, added some red onion slices, and dressed with olive oil and lemon. The longer it chills the better it is. A light but filling dish for summer.
