Notes

The easiest recipe inspired by a black bean dish at a Brazilian restaurant. The orange juice is the secret ingredient that brings it all together. We add it at the end off the heat because we don’t want it to cook but to flavor.
My kids and the husband request me to cook this recipe often. They cant get enough of it.
