- Place the water and ham hock in a pressure cooker, check to make sure the steam release holes are clear and cook for 5 min. Add in the pinto beans and cook 20 min more. Add in the rice, and when the pressure cooker
- "hisses," cook for another 5 min.
- While the rice and beans cook, heat the oil in a large skillet and saute/fry the onion and garlic till the onion becomes translucent/soft. Add in the red pepper, jalapeno peppers, oregano and tomatoes, stirring and chopping as you go. Add in 1/4 c of the reserved tomato juice, half of the salt and half of the pepper. Lower the heat and simmer 15 min.
- After the rice and beans have cooked, remove the ham hock, slice off 2 ounces of lean meat and reserve. Add in the cooked rice and beans to the pepper-tomato mix in the skillet. Stir in the reserved ham hock meat, 2 Tbsp. of the cilantro, the capers and the remaining salt and pepper.
- To serve: Spoon into bowls and garnish with the remaining cilantro.
- My personal notes: The recipe is very flexible in the type of chiles used.
- I usually blend a couple of types for complexity. The dish is also great for splashing on your favorite warm sauce too. I also usually add in beer instead of water when things are looking a bit too dry. It also can be fun to fold in a few different types of beans, like black beans and pintos. It isn't a requirement to use a pressure cooker, but it is fast and the flavor from the ham hock to the beans is greater.
