I see a good potential in this recipe, but it is way, way too salty! I would recommend to start with half the salt and go from there. Can always add more, cant take it away though LOL

Rice got a little mushy with so much water. I will make this again, but reduce water. Thanks for the recipe. Awesome with pickliz.

Awesome! I come from a Haitian family and got used to my dad's cooking. However when I moved overseas, I cursed myself for not learning how to make on the most basic and beloved dishes in Haitian cuisine. This recipe taste just like my dad's, aunt and grandma's du riz colay and now I can make it for my little one. Delicious! Thanks!

Excellent! Made this when we had 2 other couples over and I was nervous it wouldn't turn out well but everyone absolutely loved it. Will definitely be making again.

I think the make-or-break element here is the cloves. If you like cloves, then this is an excellent recipe. If you don't care for them they take over the dish. I went light on them and my family reacted strongly to the flavor.

Love this dish. I used canned kidney beans and added them to the rice at the END. They are already cooked therefore any more cooking would be too much (as seen by other reviewers who used canned beans) which to me is the best/easiest way to make this dish.

Wish I could give half a star. This would be a 3 1/2. We liked the flavor and level of spiciness but had some texture issues. Possibly my beans were extremely old because they did not cook evenly at all. When some were finally soft, the rest were mushy. Will try again after restocking the pantry.
