📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the beans to a container and submerge them in water by 4 to 6 inches. Soak for 8 to ⏱️ 24 hours. To fast-track, cover the beans in boiling hot water and let them stand for ⏱️ 1 hour.
2
Drain the beans and put them in a medium-sized pot along with the chicken stock, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring them to a boil, then simmer, covered, on low heat for 60 to ⏱️ 70 minutes, or until tender.

In the meantime, add olive oil to a large saucier pan over medium-high heat. Add the ham and sauté for 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes, until it's a little browned. Set to the side.

Next, add the onions to the pan, gently season with salt, and sauté over medium heat for ⏱️ 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Then turn the heat down to low and cook for 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until well browned.
5
Add in the sofrito and cook for 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes over low to medium heat. Then, stir in the garlic and cook for 30 to ⏱️ 45 seconds.
6
Stir in the sazon and then add the tomato puree. At this point, check whether the beans are done; if so, add everything from the bean pot to the sofrito saucier pan. If they are not done, turn the heat off on the sofrito pan until the beans are done.
