I'm sad it's gone, too. I love black beans and rice served with olive oil, fresh tomatoes and green onions and sour cream. I like a main dish of baked pork chops, or sauteed pork shoulder steaks as the main course. Always...black beans and rice and pork which is Brazilian. I've made black beans and rice from scratch, but as a nice short cut and time saver...I recommend Vigo black beans and rice with seasoning packets (black and pale yellow packaging)...delicious... and then top them with fresh ingredients above. Vigo has great black and red beans and and yellow rice combinations. If you're not familiar with Vigo dry products, ask your grocer.
