Secret Ingredient - Cumin - Homemade Burgers from cumicori.blogspot.com

Mar 14, 2007 - I wish I could claim this recipe as my own, but no - I found it on the aptly-named blog Cumin & Coriander (cumicori.blogspot.com). But I made it last night and was really pleased at the flavor the cumin gave the burgers (I used about 1 teaspoon of cumin - the recipe calls for 2).

Frijoles Negros (black beans)

Jan 22, 2007 - Here's another Cuban dish I'd love to share with you all and LisaK ;) It compliments a side of white rice along with any meat. Typically, black beans are made with a package of dry beans, boiled and soaked for an hour, sometimes you can use a ham bone for flavor, BUT most of us want something that’s quicker, so here’s my version. Ingredients Ingredients 1 can black beans 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed (or use minced garlic) A quarter of sweet onion, peeled and chopped 1 Half bell pepper, chopped 3-4 strips of bacon, chopped 3 teaspoons ground cumin Small handful of chopped cilantro (cut off stems, and only use leaves) Small handful of chopped parsley (cut off stems, and only use leaves) 1 teaspoon of Adobo powder (shown in picture) salt and pepper to taste In a medium sauce pan, add the chopped bacon bits and fry. - 73 Comments
