Looks good. That's a favorite around here.

Best I ever had was cooked by a Jamaican guy who invited me over for dinner with his family. Never had anything like his since, and I've tried to duplicate the recipe to no avail.

#1 trick to cooking beans is never let the beans boil. A low simmer keeps the beans whole & none split open. Mine gets big praise due to my putting lots of meat in. I put a good pound of my buckboard bacon in along with lots of high quality Cajun sausage.

The kind of rice and how much makes a big difference too.

It's my wife's specialty. Too bad we can't have it anymore, we're losing weight, I have lost 32 lb in two months.

Cardiologist said, "you have a weak heart, if you don't lose weight it won't be able to support you, bypass is fine, new valve is fine but your LVEF is low" so I've gone through two months of Zepbound, started a 2.5 mg, didn't do shit, went on to 5 mg, still hungry, next week I start 7.5 mg shots, the last couple of weeks I've been less hungry but I am dieting hard. I'm still 30 lbs over of when I had my surgery. I bet the good dr I was going to be 100 lbs thinner by the next appointment in March. Today so far it's been some orange juice only, not hungry, had a red snapper fillet and asparagus last night.
