Tried your recipe since I lost mine somehow. I used smoked kielbasa, what is pictured there? Hard cabbage and carrots are hated here, so I sauteed both with the sliced kielbasa. Added about 1t. freshly ground black pepper with the spices. Used my home canned tomato sauce. I did drain and rinse the beans and served the rice separately. Very popular with the family. Its a keeper!!
Thanks for posting
