Just not the flavor I wanted. Don't know exactly what would have gotten it there. I prepared it with fresh snow peas and a little onion, still no help. Thanks anyway, this one just isn't for me but I'm glad some people like it.

A really good black bean soup. I pureed the entire dish because I like the silky texture. I did add some salt since I cooked my black beans without any salt added and it has a little too much cayenne for my taste. With these adjustments I think it will be a five star. Serving suggestions: a mound of rice in the middle of the bowl, some drained plain yogurt (for thicker texture) and onions, or perhaps in a "bread bowl." Very versatile.

In the end, this just had too much fat for hubby and me. Even cooking the meat partially the first night so I could de-grease it wasn't enough to make it work for us. Also, for us it tasted more like the stew I make with leftover pot roast. So, we'll keep looking.
