As the snowstorm came to New York last week, it reminded me of how I miss Brazil's tropical weather. It was really hard to adapt to the weather here because I have never experienced a blizzard in my country. So that day I was a little homesick. Since I didn`t want to go out to eat, it got to my mind the rich culture of Brazil. So here I am, sharing this recipe, which is really good to do in the winter time; the black beans is always served with rice. It's really tasty and nutritious. In addition to that, we eat it everyday in Brazil. This food is like part of our culture.
