Servings: persons

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
3 stalks celery, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups converted (parboiled) rice
1 1/2 to 2 cups diced or shredded ham (reserved from Slow-Cooked Ham and Beans)
3 cups stewed beans (reserved from Slow-Cooked Ham and Beans)
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
2
Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, and salt to taste.
3
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 7 minutes.
4
Add the rice, ham, beans and 2 cups water and stir to combine.
5
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.
6
(Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer; this will prevent the rice from sticking.)
7
Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
8
Season with salt.
9
Serve with hot sauce, if desired.
