When I tried this rice for the first time, I was delighted with the sabor from the combination of the white rice and the stewed habichuelas (red kidney beans.) Very easy to prepare, I like to call this dish my 'last-minute meal saver.' Most of the time we already have some white rice and habichuelas left over in the fridge. All that's left to do is give these ingredients a different toque with diced ham and bell peppers–your family will never realize they're eating leftovers. Try it out and let me know how it works for you!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked white rice (leftovers work great)
  • 1 lb. red kidney beans, stewed
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 sweet peppers, diced
  • 1 cup smoked ham, diced
  • 1/4 cup green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup yellow bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh culantro or cilantrillo, chopped

Directions

  •  
    1
    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add the ham. Sauté for several minutes, until the ham has begun to turn golden brown. Then stir-in the rice and beans. Mix the ingredients well–the rice will turn a bit brown with the broth from the beans.
  •  
    2
    Last, add the sweet peppers and the cilantro to the mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
  •  
    3
    Serve hot alongside your favorite side dish.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
