CALYPSO RICE AND BEANS
This is a very colorful dish, and with a few ingredients like pineapple, onion, cilantro, and a little jalapeno pepper, you can't go wrong. The flavors definately point to Cuban cuisine, and it really doesn't take long to make it. You don't even have to soak the black beans overnight. Just clean them, cover with water, bring to a boil and then just let them simmer for awhile, while you do other things.
