A tapas recipe from the Andalucia region of Spain. Jamon Serrano is different from American ham. You can use diced Pancetta as a substitute, but you'll need to dice it finer.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/4 lb fresh lima beans (frozen is ok)
2 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp dry white wine
1/4 lb jamon serrano, finely diced (or other cured ham)
1 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley, minced
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the lima beans and the garlic. Cook about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook over low heat, covered, about 10 minutes if using frozen beans (15 minutes if using fresh).
  • 2. Add the finely minced jamon/ham and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste (keep in mind the saltiness of the ham!). Cook another 10 minutes (15 minutes if using fresh beans) until the beans are tender.
