    Really flavorful! I served this as a side dish to feed 9 and had enough left over to use to fill tortillas and use up some left over grilled chicken breasts. Was just as flavorful the next day. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

    Most of the time, when I serve a recipe without meat, the family really complains. So, to please them, I sauteed some smoked sausage with the vegetables before adding the rice. After the spices were added at the end, the white rice took on the greenish yellow color of the cumin and curry with the black beans mixed in, so at first everyone just stared at their plate and didn't know what to expect. Well, after the first bite, there was no doubt - everyone loved it! There were no left overs. Next time I'm going to make it my way - no meat! I'll be sure to serve some meat on the side for the rest of the family. Thanks for sharing this delicious and healthy recipe.

    Wanting black beans and rice for dinner tonight (with Cajun chicken) I made this recipe. It was great...easy, very tasty. I think next time I'll go just a little bit easier on the Cayenne Pepper (please husband). Other than that it was terrific and I imagine tomorrow it will be even better. Thanks for posting...
