Questions & AnswersWhile the chicken is cooking, we're going to prepare the beans. We're going to take one of the larger pots, and we're going to dump the beans in. We're going to start cooking the beans this early because; though generally the beans are precooked, they're going to be a little bit tough, so you want to have a chance to break them up as you're cooking. We're going to be smashing them along the sides; as well, and that will act as a thickening agent, because we're adding vegetable stock, rum, and orange juice.
