BE FAIR! Yours is not a black bean SOUP. Yours is a "rice and beans" dish...not soup. This is an excellent recipe, as attested to by all of the others. 6 excellent reviews, 1 negative review.

"They look good, but they are quite heavy. I followed directions to the letter. They are not light and fluffy like I thought they'd be. I'm going to try Emeril's recipe.""

"This is a very tasty dish. I made a mistake and bought boneless chicken breasts instead of ones with ribs. If you make the same mistake, be sure to remove the breasts from the sauce, after cooking it for only 5 min. otherwise, my chef son said, it will be tough. I cooked the rest of the dish for 25 min, then replaced the breasts to heat through. I must have been on holiday overload because I neglected to remove the skin from the thighs. Nevertheless, it was very tasty and my husband said I should keep this recipe. I served it over pasta and I have enough for leftovers tonight. I served it with a light frisee, orange and hazelnut salad. Delicious!!

"I have not made this recipe yet, but I'm basing my 5 stars on Ina's past performance. I am responding to the person who is confused about tenting with foil first or adding water first.

To make it easier and to avoid spills, I would tent your pudding, set it down on the oven rack and pour hot water into the bottom container so that it reaches up around half way. That's it.
