Last night Dom cooked black beans and rice a la one pot cookbook. This dinner took about 2.5 hours to cook and by the time it was done or not so done we were both very hungry. Overall the flavour was good possibly a bit too much stout and also Dom had added sugar at one point as she was concerned that the flavour was a bit bitter. This just had the effect of a strangely sweet initial flavour. The salsa that she served with it was very nice but my personal view was that it could have had a bit more heat. The main problem however was that Dom used brown rice, this meant it didn't actually cook in the stew. After an hour of waiting patiently from the point that we added the rice, we gave up and ate it as it was. Which in this case was as hard as anything and I still have jaw ache today. Overall marks 5.5, nice in principal but the execution let it down.
