Under this title, in this article I want to refer to the important help that El Iberian Ham provides in the kitchen when preparing many dishes, or rather, when making its final arrangement.
The Iberian ham, chopped into small pieces, is used to make sofritos, with oil and other products, which constitute the final arrangement of many dishes. Here you can see the whole variety of Iberico ham that we offer in our online store.
Green beans, after cooked and drained, improve substantially if they add a stir-fried ham and chopped garlic, and also the possibility of adding some tomato or not.
Some peas, once cooked and drained, earn many points by adding a stir-fried ham, poached onion, and garlic, with the possibility of adding a “pinch” of tomato.
The same happens to some artichokes, after cleaning the outer leaves, cooked and drained, which are enriched with a stir-fried ham and garlic.
There are many dishes to which you can add that fried ham that enriches and improves them, and I cannot refer to everyone here.
But in addition to the sofritos, there are many dishes in which the Iberian Ham participates along with other components and results in an exquisite dish.
The exquisite “scrambled” so typical in the kitchen of many countries, are incomparably better with the addiction of Ham instead of incorporating other similar components, but of lower quality and intensity of flavor, such as bacon, bacon, etc.
Examples of this are the different scrambled eggs with Iberian ham, mushrooms, or mushrooms, or thistle mushrooms, or boletus mushrooms, etc. How much appreciated and valued by the fans of good food.
Also a good example are scrambled eggs with wild asparagus and ham or with garlic with ham.
Or simply the scrambled eggs and ham, with the incorporation or not of some tomato.
For all these dishes you can use the Iberian ham of the cut and chopped maces, but it can also be used frequently, since it is going to be chopped and does not need a presence and colorfulness as when it is served sliced, the Ham that It is located in the cane of the piece, between the maces and the hoof.
To extract this Ham it can be done patiently, with a pointed knife, cleaning the bone and the spaces between tendons, or it can be done in a more simple and comfortable way such as cutting the bone into slices or slices, it is cleaned then the ham that these bone slices have attached, and the bones are stored for use by making broths or providing flavor in the cooking of some stews, thus completing the saying that the ham takes advantage of everything.
These “crumbs” or small pieces of Iberian ham that are extracted in this way, can be used to make all the stews that I have mentioned or they can be fried alone, without more, to prepare a very tasty dish that is “the fried knuckle” and that It is eaten alone or as a side dish.
To prepare all these dishes and stews, or any other, you can buy Iberian Ham online through our Gastronomic Spain page, and receive it comfortably at your home, in any country in Europe.
