After all of the positive reviews I was really excited to try this recipe. I was sorely disappointed, however. It's not that it's inedible, it's just that the tomato flavor was so overwhelming I couldn't even taste the black beans, even though I used the 28 oz can. When I first made it, I added some other spices to try to balance out the flavors after I tasted how tomato-ey it was. When that didn't help I add a spoon of sugar (which I always add to my pasta sauce) and it helped somewhat. Still I would never make this again. I'm still trying to force myself to finish it.

Baked Salmon II

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009

I was thoroughly impressed with this recipe! I doubled the garlic and halved the olive oil. I didn't have fresh parsley so I used dried. I marinated the salmon in a ziplock bag for an hour. Then I placed the salmon and marinade in a baking dish and covered with foil. It was delicious! I served it with oregano rice (cooked rice tossed with melted butter, salt, and dried oregano) for a great meal.

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

I loved this! I omitted the cream cheese because I wanted to make it vegan and I didn't have cilantro, but it was still absolutely delicious. I also used pickled jalepenos instead. I added accent and cayenne pepper and other powdered spices. The tortillas I used were low fat/calories and low carb. Sometimes I even add the Mexican Rice II recipe and corn to these burritos to make them more filling. Thanks for this amazing recipe!

Mexican Rice II

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

I love this dish because of its easiness. I made a few minor changes based on the reviews. (1) I was worried about the onions not being cooked enough and I was worried about burning the rice so I partially cooked the onions first then added the rice. I also added a bit more onions. (2) I used onion and garlic flavored tomato sauce for added flavor (3) Along with the cumin, I added onion powder, accent, adobo, cayenne pepper, and season all. It ended up being a great side dish and would probably be amazing for burritos. UPDATE: I realized the first time I made this I accidentally used Swanson's low sodium chicken stock instead of the broth. The 2nd time I used the broth, but I liked the stock better. Also I've added this rice to the Delicious Black Bean Burritos recipe on this site and it was A+!

Lebanese Chicken and Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2009

I'm surprised more people didn't emphasize how important it is to marinate this dish. I seasoned with salt, white pepper, cumin and all spice and I let it sit for a couple minutes before cooking. Next time I'll marinate with the lemon juice and olive for more flavor. I used chicken legs and the chicken was tender and juicy, but cooked a lot faster than the instructions stated.

Le Marriage, Alfredo Algerie

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009

This recipe is excellent. It's alfredo sauce with a twist and I love it. The only thing is what the other reviewers said. The step with cooking 30 minutes after adding water is too much. After you add the water, you can cook for about 5-10 minutes. I also added more saffron for a more defined flavor.
