Excellent. I only partially drain my red beans, and add adobo all purpose seasoning. My grandchildren LOVE the beans and rice. Made it this way for years.

Definitely use the lemon peel- it adds something that would definitely be missed if it were gone! (BTW- trying it with rock cod next time- the price of snapper was outrageous and the man helping us said rock cod is the next best thing)
