I am not going to give a star review because I'm not sure if I did something wrong or what. I've looked over the recipe a dozen times and I can't find anything I did wrong. This turned out so incredibly salty my husband and I couldn't even eat it. Maybe it was the salted pork?

Really loved this. My DH is from Puerto Rico, and this tastes like "home" ~ My FIL made this quite often and we now can enjoy this once again. Easy, and just delish. I used deli ham cubed, rice from the night before, and only added capers and some minced onion and garlic. Terrific and completely wonderful. Thanks!

These beans were excellent. My puerto rican roommate, her sister & their boyfriends (also PR) came over and thought these were awesome. I used habichuelas rosadas (pink) instead of coloradas (red). Added an 8 oz can of Goya tomato sauce (spanish style). Muy Bueno!

This was very good. My family enjoyed it.I started with two boneless chops that I diced up and cooked in oil until almost done.I finished cooking in the sauce.After browning meat I added the spices and beans and added 6 oz tomato sauce and a diced potato due to personal preferences. Then I simmerd coverd over low heat 25 min.I have never used the azafran in my beans we liked this. I usually use the y achiote.I doubled all bean ingredients.
