RECIPE FROM SPAIN:

Serrano Ham and Tomato Salsa

A truly delicious tapa using the most traditional Spanish ingredients and a great way to use your Serrano ham as you get towards the end.

You will need:

200g Serrano Ham cut into cubes
1 medium onion
6 cloves garlic
5 medium ripe tomatoes
Olive oil
Hand full chopped parsley
Salt

Method

• Peel the garlic and onion and chop as small as you can.

• In a large frying pan, heat a little olive oil, add the onion and garlic and cook gently until they begin to soften.

• Add the diced Serrano ham to the pan, and cook for a few minutes.

• Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and add to the pan.

• Cook on a high heat for a few minutes, add the chopped parsley, stir and reduce the heat.

• Cook gently for about half an hour until the sauce has reduced.

• Check the seasoning, but don't add too much salt as the ham will add salt of its own.

• Serve on small tapas dishes with fresh bread.
