Manna from heaven to a hungry girl who has just got home from a solid 15 hour stint. I'm inspired to cook it right now, particularly by your gorgeous vivid colours and simple instructions.But I know my limitations. So I'll save it for the weekend.
What's your favourite jambon Serrano recipe? I like mine wrapped around Lincolnshire asparagus but it's a bit early yet so I'd love some ideas.
This has very similiar ingredients to the foods I eat at my mother-in-laws. She is Lebanese and my father-in-law is Armenian.
Oh yumm - I'm going to try this one!
Cherry, yes that's a good way to serve asparagus!
Mine is chicken breast wrapped with Jamon Serrano in a sage and Jerez sauce.
Mary, most of the Southern Mediterranean countries use similar ingredients. What a fantastic combination your family must be!
Hobbes, it's so simple that you can prepare loads and freeze it!
Don't forget a little lemon juice before tucking in!
DO NOT FORGET TO SEND ME RECIPES!
I said I wouldn't come back and here I am, drooling. Can I do this without the lamb, you think? I don't eat meat.
This sort of reminds me of something my brother-in-law's family makes...they're from Africa but they still cook very Indian meals.
They do a mixed thing with chickpeas [channa], chopped tomatoes, chopped, cooked spuds, chopped cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, salt, black pepper...I don't know if I left out anything...
Yes, you can skip the meat. If you eat fish then leave it till the end and poach it in the soup.
Now, guess who's drooling! Sounds amazing!
