NewsSharing Our Recipes Courtesy of Patricia Bolger BROAD BEANS WITH JAMON If you are traveling in Spain this coming year, you may just find this recipe on the Tapas Bar, as an item on a Starter Menu or served in Spanish homes as a side dish. It is basically the Spanish twist to beans with ham. I have made this recipe many times as a contribution to a BBQ or a movie night buffet. Add to this a brown bag full of diagonally cut baguette and you are an instant Gourmet Cook. Fava beans are hard to find in our grocery stores so I use the frozen package of Lima beans. Also, I would choose a crisp and fragrant dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc to bring out the best flavours! |
