I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out terrible. The orzo was mushy and the black beans were hard. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I would also recommend adding some vegetables to bulk it up.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The orzo was cooked perfectly and the black beans were creamy and flavorful. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a delicious and healthy meal.
