Yes, please let me know how it turns out! (I like curry too, but the Husband doesn't like it at all! So, I only cook with it if he's going to be out of the house for a while!) :) Mrs. Micah,

I'm turning into a Tex-Mex type girl (lots of chili, burritos) crossed with Indian (curry!!!!!). Anyway, I'm going to save this to del.icio.us for next week's meal planning. I'll let you know how ours turns out. That is exactly up my alley! I’m turning into a Tex-Mex type girl (lots of chili, burritos) crossed with Indian (curry!!!!!).

You could add fewer than what the recipe calls for. That way you're not bombarded with the taste! Make sure you drain and rinse them well if you buy the canned version. You could put them in a bowl and add seasonings directly to them before adding them to the rest of the ingredients (salt, pepper, a little chili pepper). You could also cook them in a pan on med-high heat real quick - get a sorta roasted crust to the beans. That might help the flavor/texture. Looking for black bean substitutes... how about pinto, chili, cannellini, appaloosa, soy, black soybeans, or calypso/orca beans? Hmmm... if you like refried beans (the low-fat, vegetarian kind), you could add a few glops of it to the rice dish. I've never actually done that, but I think it could work. You could also add cooked ground beef or ground turkey instead of the beans, as well. Now if beans in general just aren't your thing, simply leave them out of the recipe. It'll still work. :) Hope this helps! Don’t like black beans… … You could add fewer than what the recipe calls for. That way you’re not bombarded with the taste!
