- 4 servings
We remember falling in love with this dish in Santiago de Compostela. It is very simple to prepare but the ingredients complement each other beautifully. If possible, try to find long, flat green beans, usually available in the summer. Otherwise fresh string beans will do. This is a great side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1lb fresh broad green beans (often sold as Romano beans), or string beans, ends removed
- 2tbsp olive oil
- 3cloves garlic, minced
- 1small onion, peeled and minced
- 4oz diced Serrano ham slices
- pinch of sweet smoked paprika
- splash of sherry vinegar
- sea salt, to taste
Preparation
STEP 1
In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the beans and boil for 5 minutes. Strain beans and shock in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain cooled beans well.
STEP 2
Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the beans until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium, add the garlic, onion, paprika and ham, and cook stirring occasionally for 10 to 15 minutes until the beans are tender. Add a splash of sherry vinegar and salt to taste. Serve with toasted crusty bread.
