Simple Cuban Black Beans & Rice in a Rice CookerI've loved cuban black beans and rice ever since I lived in Weehawken, New Jersey and ate at the Unica Cafe.

African Chicken in Peanut SauceI first had this in graduate school when a classmate from Ghana cooked it for an International progressive dinner.

Cumin RiceThis rice is a delicious mix of cumin and cinnamon. It provides a nice, slightly sweet flavor, that is a perfect complement to any middle eastern dish. The only dishes I would avoid serving this with are sweet dishes with dates, figs, etc. I served it with my Braised Lamb with Beans. It was great! |
