Jambalaya Ham And Oyster Dressing Recipes

ONE-POT RICE, HAM AND BEANS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the rice, ham, beans and 2 cups water and stir to combine.
• Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. (Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer; this will prevent the rice from sticking.) Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Season with salt. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.
