This is made with a ham hock and smoked sausage, to infuse the beans with loads of flavor. You'll need to give the beans an overnight soak (not listed in the time to make the recipe). Cook your rice separately, as you'll be spooning rice into the bottom of the bowl and then topping with the flavorful beans.This recipe takes time, but it is so worth it. Adapted from an Emeril Lagasse recipe.

CLASSIC RED RICE RECIPE | EPICURIOUS.COM
Arroz Rojo In Mexico, this popular rice dish is usually made with vine-ripened tomatoes. For best results, use good-quality canned tomatoes or, in the summer, shop for tomatoes at a farmers' market if you don't grow your own. Simple grilled meats or tomato-sauced main dishes pair perfectly with red rice.
