This was good. It took a lot of time but was very easy and I liked how the beans stayed whole. Thanks

My son-in-law spent a year in Costa Rica and he loved this recipe! He said it tasted similar to the beans and rice he ate at almost every dinner there. Although there was several cups of juice after cooking the required 2 hours, the beans were soft and delicious.

I had a little trouble making this, after simmereing for 2 hours I still had a lot of liquid left. Also the beans were kind of hard and there was not a lot of flavor. My Cuban wife saved the day by lightly boiling out some of the water and seasoning with Adobo all-purpose seasoning. Also, my wife's mother said that I should soak the beans overnight in water to make them plump and tender or us a pressure cooker next time. Other than that the taste was authentic.

I enjoyed this many times in the past. Its awesome! I do leave out the red wine vinegar and the bacon(because I'm vegetarian). I love the green onion topping, that is wonderful! We enjoy this with low-fat plain yogurt! What a wonderful meal! From one girl in Orlando to another," Thank you so much for sharing"!
