Did you actually toast croutons before adding them to the mix or did you use un-toasted bread which then turned to croutons once added to the skillet? Thanks! Hi Deb,

I’d like to make this recipe this weekend, but I’m a little confused about the croutons. Did you actually toast croutons before adding them to the mix or did you use un-toasted bread which then turned to croutons once added to the skillet? Thanks!

Yum. Thanks!

I made this tonight. I found DRIED cranberry beans at our farmer's market, so I soaked and cooked them (but not quite long enough--they were deliciously mild but too dry). Used a day old challah, forgot the almonds until the last minute, and put a bit of Mexican chorizo in because it was all I had. It tasted great, but next time I will cook the beans the proper length of time and find the Spanish chorizo which would add to the color appeal. Husband loved it, I loved it, one son loved it--the other six could take it or leave it, and they mostly left it. Too bad for them. I'm having it for lunch tomorrow. I’m loving your archives!

I went to the grocery store today with this recipe in mind. I ended up picking up some smoked andouille (I just moved from the deep south, and love andouille when I can get it). I also used this recipe to finish off most of a loaf of homemade bread that was never going to get eaten. I also substituted canned black beans. I really like how this recipe came out. I'm not a gourmet cook at all, but enjoy trying new things. My husband said I'm free to cook this anytime. Thanks for a nice alternative!

I'm finally catching up on posts after a vacation and I'm surprised the baby hasn't come yet!! Usually when I woke up in my 3rd with a to-do list that needs to be competed ASAP , it was a sure sign I was nesting. A word of warning, if you are planning a several course dinner party for about ten people, you may go into labor when it is all over, as I did. All the very best to you as you enjoy this very special time! Deb, I’m surprised no one’s mentioned it, but it sounds like you’re nesting.

I did and it was absolutely awful. The Mexican chorizo disintegrated and mushed into the whole thing and gave it a horrible texture and taste. I took one bite and threw out the whole pot.
