It was a bit bland for me and not very Cuban. I added cumin, lime, black beans, paprika. Also, ned to roast millet prior to adding to sautéed veg, obviously - 02 Mar 2014 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Just made it last night. I added a red pepper as well and at the end added a can of black beans that I had rinsed before. Not only was it nice looking but it tasted very good. Both my husband and son loved it. Thank you! - 21 Sep 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
