Again, another recipe from my boyfriend. The Goya brand products in this recipe can usually be found in the international section or Mexican section of your grocery store. Although I use Pink Beans for this recipe, please feel free to substitute Goya Kidney Beans or Pinto Beans.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup ham, chopped into small cubes
2 tablespoons goya sofrito sauce
2 tablespoons goya recaito
1 teaspoon minced garlic, minced or 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can goya pink beans, undrained
1 cup water
1/4 cup tomato sauce (plain)
1 (2 g) envelope goya sazon goya, con culantro y achiote
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 pinch salt
1 small potato, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons manzanilla olives, sliced (or 6 to 10 whole manzanilla olives)
2 cups cooked white rice, medium grain (Cook according to packaged directions)

Directions

1
Heat oil in saucepan on medium. Add ham and sauté for about 5 minutes.
2
Add Sofrito, Recaito and garlic and sauté another 5 minutes.
3
Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender and beans are desired thickness.
4
Serve over hot rice.
5
Tip: We eat this with a slice or two of avocado, which is traditionally how rice and beans are served in Puerto Rico.

Everyone loved this dish tonight! So easy and flavorful-probably the best beans I've made! Only change I made was to simmer w/o the lid to make a thick sauce. I love the olives-no need for added salt. Thank you, Michelle, for a DELICIOUS recipe! Made for the Think Pink Tag Game In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, October 2008.

Oh my.....this is wonderful!!!! I followed your instructions exactly (even serving the avocado slices with it). Hubby insists that I make this again. This is such a easy meal to prepare yet a full flavored dish that makes you feel good all over. Thanks for sharing, Michelle Bass.
