This is comfort food at its best with mild flavors and it's simple to make. This is a very versatile dish: if you prefer, you can use almonds in place of the cashews, and cilantro in place of the parsley.

Brown Rice and Black Bean Pilaf image

This is a recipe that I created recently using fresh herbs from my home garden. I made this recipe for My brother and I for lunch with Cuban inspired grilled pork chops and my Mango, Avocado and Cucumber salsa which I submitted yesterday. It was a yummy meal, very satisfying and delicious. It is a very easy recipe to throw together, I acutally make it in my rice cooker.
