Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a flavorful ham: The ham is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a ham that has a good flavor. Look for a ham that is smoked or cured, and that has a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans can become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the beans until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a good quality rice: The rice is another important ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality rice. Look for a rice that is long-grain and has a good texture.
  • Season the dish to taste: The seasonings in this dish are important for bringing out the flavor of the ham and beans. Season the dish to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
