oh, yes, I always rinse. Not sure why I didn’t add that! Glad you liked it.

My first thought when I saw this was that it would be good with brown rice. I made it for supper tonight and as I was getting the rice out of the cupboard, I decided to used a package of Isreali couscous I had to use up. It was delicious. A quick easy supper and so versatile. It can be served with so many things. I will definitely make this again. One question–it says drain the black beans, but did you also rinse them?

I was scrounging trying to find something to make for dinner tonight so I took the basis of this and added zuchini. I mixed it with whole grain Penne pasta. Yummy

Sheri – I didn’t. I was thinking of adding water to make it more of a soup but decided to keep it thick and use it more like a chili or stew. The soup thins a little with the juice from the tomatoes and then it thickens back up when you simmer. It’s perfect thickness for stuffing a burrito or topping rice.

Hey Roni, this looks great! I have a question though. Did you use anything to thin out the condensed soup? Thanks for sharing!

That was SO yummy! I just made a pot, and ate some with a pita. It reminded me of an indian saag dish. Next time I make it, I may add a little garam marsala and serve it with Naan or basmati rice. I think my husband would eat it! Thanks for the quick dish! LOVE IT!
