In a large shallow pan, heat oil and add onion and garlic. Cook until starting to soften. Add the gammon and sausage, continue to cook until browned.

Add the paprika and the rice, cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add the saffron plus water and about half of the stock. Stir well, add pepper and beans. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes.
