Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion, green pepper and celery, until onions are soft and translucent. Stir in garlic and cook another minute.

Add rice, sausage and ham. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, to coat the rice with oil, stirring frequently.

Pour in tomatoes with green chiles and chicken broth. Season with thyme and bay leaf.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20 to 2 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in the beans, mix well and heat through.
