This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to cook beans, and this recipe fit the bill. The coconut sauce was a nice change from the usual tomato-based sauces.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some cooked rice in my fridge, and this dish was the perfect way to use it up.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their beans. My kids loved the creamy coconut sauce.

I didn't have any coconut milk on hand, so I used almond milk instead. It worked out just fine.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler bean recipes in the future.

The beans were a little undercooked for my liking, but overall this dish was still pretty good.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a little too much cayenne pepper. Next time, I'll use less.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover beans. I had some canned black beans in my pantry, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great. I made a few substitutions (used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and added some chopped spinach), and it was still delicious.

This coconut-sauced bean dish was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the beans were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
