This is a delicious combination of flavours made in Spain but you can enjoy it anywhere. In the UK broad bean recipes tend towards mint-related or stews. But serrano ham really combines well as would bacon if you can't access ham. Make as a starter (on a toast canapé drizzled with olive oil if you want to go posh), a side or, mixed with any pasta and a handful of grated parmesan, as a main. Hope you like it ☺

Steps

15 mins

1

Wash, chop and sauté the onion in olive oil until it softens
2

Shell the beans or get a helper to do it for you (if helper is your son I suggest using a bait such as football on tele)
3

Cut the ham and add to the pan
4

Add the shelled beans (thank you son!)
5

Stir well, add a small glass of water, a pinch of salt and the oregano. When it starts to bubble, turn heat down to minimum, cover and cook for 5 minutes
6

After five minutes, test a bean for tenderness. Continue to cook if you want softer beans. Put the heat up for a while if you want less sauce
7

Drizzle with some olive oil, serve and enjoy ☺

Alicante, Spain

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
