Like many other reviewers, I spiced this one up a bunch with some cumin, chili powder, and crushed peppers, but this is a great base to start from.

This was bland compared to the spice we are accustomed to. It was easy, and one could spice it up a lot if desired. A good base recipe to work from, but bland as written.

A great base recipe. Cut back to only 2 cups liquid or you will get mushy rice. I felt it needed a little spice and added diced green chilies...just what it needed! Will definitely make again, it's so easy.

My roommate used to make this all time. Hated the roommate loved the recipe and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to recreate it, but this recipe is the same he used. The differences I used pinto beans it worked great also I threw in some chicken with the rice and let it boil it gave it some extra flavor. I didn't use the veggies so I added more spices and tomato paste and it turned out great. I ate it with some pita bread and I am very satisfied.

Like most Cuban food, a little short on flavor. Kick it up with some Sazon and the black beans are better.

This is authentic in flavor and taste according to my cuban friend. Cuban food is NOT spicy contrary to popular belief. I will use this again and again. I have already gotten requests!

My husband made this one night...I wasn't too sure but was game to try. It was addictive! Very nice flavors, and quite easy to make too! Thanks for the recipe!

This was a good side dish to accompany the Fajita Chicken Marinade from this site. My only complaint is that it's a bit bland. But nothing some cumin and chili powder couldn't fix. I really liked the ease of preparation, and it's really healthy. Will make again with additional spices. Thanks!

I added extra vegetables and used chicken stock instead of water and the kidney bean juices. I also added cumin, chili powder, cayenne and a touch of cinnamon. Delicious served with avocado, cilantro, and cheese!

I didn't make this but I assigned it to a guest at our Taste of the Tropics dinner party and she made it with her husband. It was very flavorful and the perfect side to our Trinidad Stewed Chicken! It didn't seem quite as "wet" as the picture, but it didn't seem to make any difference. I will make this again myself, but I think I'll make it a little spicy!

Loved this dish. Was looking for menu options while on a 21 day no meats, no sweets fast. Made this three times with brown rice which can present a challenge versus some white rice. Grew up on "peas and rice" from the islands and my mother's best friend from Panama's coconut rice and peas. This one's committed to memory and in the recipe box just in case. Thanks.

A little bland for my taste. I guess I was expecting something with a little more flavor and I followed the reviews that spiced it up.

Very delicious! I decreased the liquid to 2 cups and that worked well. It had a nice blend of salty flavor and a little sweetness from the tomato paste. I added some chili powder for heat and omitted the green pepper because I didn't have ite. Great option for a meal on a budget!

This rice was a hit! I made it for the first time as a side to fajitas for a get-together in my home. I added a little spice, but it's nice as is. I will definitely make it again! (Hey this will make plenty for about 6 people, I added more and had a soup pot full! :)

I didn't have any bell pepper, and used black beans instead of kidney. My husband absolutely loved it, and my 21 month old DD loved it too! I'm making it again tonight the same way as last.
