added by shmen7

This is adapted from an old favourite, peas and ham (guisantes con jamón) and could also be just beans or just artichokes.

Prep time
  • 10min
Cook Time
  • 20min
Servings
  • 4 portions
Ingredients
  • 1kg Spanish or French flat green beans
  •  
  • 12 small globe artichokes
  •  
  • 100g jamón serrano (parma ham but spanish!)
  •  
  • 2 decent-sized cloves garlic
  •  
  • olive oil
  •  
  • butter
,
Directions

Cut off the stems and first couple of leaves from the artichokes.

Bring to the boil and simmer in plenty of salted water for about 30 min's (longer if bigger).

Trim, chop and cook beans.

Gently fry chopped garlic in olive oil and a little butter then add the chopped jam�n (ham).

Pull off leaves from the drained artichokes (the water makes a nice stock for soup) 'til you're left with no tough bits - the leaves could be kept and eaten with a dip.

Trim any tough tips, halve the hearts and add to the garlic and jam�n with the drained beans.

Season with a little salt and simmer gently, stirring every now and then for about 10 min's to let the flavours mingle.
