Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup ham, diced
1 (15 ounce) can pink beans
1 small potato, chopped in 1/2 in cubes
1 cup onion, chopped and divided
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (I like regular ol' parsley)
salt and pepper
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
water
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup white wine
2 cups cooked white rice

Steps:

  • BEANS: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan and add cooked ham. Saute for about 1 minute on medium high heat. Add 1/2 cup onions, green peppers, garlic and cilantro. Cook for about two minutes
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Add tomato sauce. Keep cooking on medium high for about 1 minute. Add the beans and the potatoes and simmer for about 1 minute stirring frequently. Add the same amount of water using the beans can. Stir, cover and cook on medium low for about 20 minutes. Stir every 3 or 4 minutes. Set aside and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  • MAMPOSTEAO: In a large saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil and the unsalted butter. Reduce heat to medium. When the butter has melted add 1/2 cup of onions. Stir until onions are cooked.
  • Add the white wine and stir until the sauce is reduced. Add the rice and stir constantly until all ingredients are hot and mixed. Add about 1 cup of the cooked beans stirring constantly. Add more beans as needed (Not necessarily the whole amount), and keep stirring until you get a nice creamy mix.
  • Serve imediately.
