Author Name: Robert C. Harding Review Body: True Cuban black beans without meat?!? I've collectively spent 10 weeks in traveling throughout Cuba, traveling from Havana to Santiago de Cuba with many stops in-between, and I lived for five years in Miami (aka, "Havana North"). I've had Cuban black beans in Cuba hundreds of times and never were they not prepared without some kind of pork. It's an integral part of the flavor. Review Rating: Date Published: 2020-04-01

Author Name: Cindy Shumaker Review Body: I just made these and there has to be something off about the measurements of some of the ingredients. There are more bell peppers than there are beans and I couldn't get enough garlic to make 1/2 cup. They didn't taste bad but I don't think I'll be making these again.

Author Name: Djoeco Review Body: Why does the video and the recipe written here not match up? I?2 minced garlic really? Not in the video Review Rating: Date Published: 2020-03-26

Author Name: Kjersten Conway Review Body: Just made these. Holy crap! They far exceeded my expectations. These are better than the beans I was eating in Cuba a month ago. Yes, you do use 1/2 cup of minced garlic. I used the jarred kind and it was not overly strong. I will be making these constantly from now on. Review Rating: Date Published: 2017-02-23

Author Name: Jolene Gatto Review Body: I'm looking forward to making this recipe! (It sounds amazing!) and just wanted to make sure it was correct in asking for a 1/2 cup of minced garlic. Thank you advance for your response! Review Rating: Date Published: 2016-07-04

Author Name: Madeline Espineira Review Body: Cuban Black Beans NEVER have tomato products in them. Not paste, not any. The tomato products are reserved for ALL OTHER bean recipes, but NEVER in black beans, fyi. Seriously, and who in their right mind would add ONE HALF CUP of garlic? That is a typo. Must be around two cloves. Where's the cumin? Where's the vinegar? Review Rating: Date Published: 2017-04-13

Author Name: gclaiborne Review Body: I agree with Madeline. No tomato paste in black beans! And half a cup of olive oil is too much. And vinegar and a bit of sugar are essential. Review Rating: Date Published: 2019-07-04

Author Name: Dtravis9405 Review Body: I thought they were too hot too. Next time I am going to reduce the cumin. Otherwise I loved them. They were as good as at the Cuban restaurant in key west at mallory square. Review Rating: Date Published: 2019-06-22
