For a richer flavor, consider using ham hock instead of cubed ham. Cook the ham hock with the beans in the first pressure cooking cycle, then shred the meat and discard the bone before adding the tomatoes. Adjust the amount of salt to your preference, keeping in mind that ham can be quite salty. Garnish with fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
