Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Veracruz-style beans and rice

    • Breadcrumbs on October 21, 2012

      p. 196 - I made a quick version of this recipe using leftover steamed rice (from my Zoji) I also opted for canned beans since it was a weeknight w no time to soak the dry. This turned out great. Nothing earth-shattering, just a nicely seasoned simple rice dish. I used 2 serrano chilis which warmed the dish to perfection for our tastes. I'd definitely make this again and would likely use canned beans.

  • Brown rice with corn and zucchini

    • Dcampos on August 02, 2020

      Very flavorful. Used water and seasoning salt instead of broth plus added cumin. Topped with fresh diced tomato from the garden.
