    I just finished making and eating this, and my son and I loved it! It smelled wonderful as it was simmering and was very flavorful. Not to mention, it was a very inexpensive meal. I halved the recipe because I only had 1 cup of beans.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Amazing! We all really enjoyed this, but I found it made a solid 8 servings as a main dish.

    Hi Erica,

    I just tried your arroz con frijoles negros, because I’ve always loved the Goya boxed version, and wanted to add to my repertoire. I had to substitute canned tomato sauce for the fresh tomatoes, white onions for the scallions, and red kidney beans for the black beans, and it *still* it came out wonderfully. It’s a great alternative to takeout – so easy and filling.

    My next move is to experiment with freezing your delightful hogao in zip-locs or ice cube trays for Cuban gourmet in a flash ;). Masha Allah, this is a keeper.

    Thank you ever so much for this clear and simple recipe!

    I’m working with lots of Colombians and trying to pick their brains for vegetarian recipes; Not easy. Good to see you have some options for me, thank you
    I wonder if I can modify these recipes for pressure cooking?

    This is amazing. Thanks so much!

    I added some avocado and I’m thinking about how to serve some of this with huevos, in the morning.
