Black Beans and Rice image

My favorite version. The rum and orange juice tweak the flavor just right. I prefer it with brown rather than white rice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my black beans and rice turned out terrible. The beans were hard and the rice was mushy. I guess I'll have to try again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
