Spring recipes with Spanish Jamón

Otros idiomas: Español Français Deutsch Italiano

Spring has finally arrived. With it, the days are getting longer and we feel more and more like midday in the sun accompanied by a good appetizer, mid-afternoon walks or weekend barbecue with family or friends. Spring recipes are full of seasonal vegetables and fruits. We abandon the hot dishes of mid-winter to introduce lighter and fresher ingredients that are not only healthy but also delicious.

At Enrique Tomás we also love spring for all that it means and because we can enhance the use of our rich delicacy, Serrano ham/jamón serrano or Iberian ham/jamón ibérico, in fresher and more attractive dishes by combining it with new ingredients: peas, eggplants, avocados, melon, artichokes, etc. We give you some ideas and then it will depend on your tastes. We present you 8 finger-licking spring recipes with Spanish Jamón: the traditional ones and other more original ones. Keep reading!

2. Artichokes with Jamón

When spring begins, we must take advantage of the fact that artichokes are still in season (at least until mid-April). This ingredient with its peculiar and unique flavor conquers our palate. Combining artichokes with other vegetables and healthy foods, such as foods with high protein content, is ideal. In this recipe we have chosen onion, garlic and Jamón as accompaniments.

Undoubtedly, artichokes with Jamón are one of the most classic dishes of our Spanish gastronomy and, in addition, they meet the requirements of a healthy recipe.

3. Vegetable stew with Jamón

Another option is the classic vegetable stew based on seasonal vegetables. We choose cauliflower, an important source of fiber, vitamin C and minerals such as potassium and phosphorus. Also, artichokes, a diuretic and antioxidant food that, as we have said, should be used when they are in season. Also, green beans, a food rich in vitamins and minerals, and onion, which provides a great flavor, while rounding out the dish. Finally, the Iberian ham, besides being the source of flavor and originality, also contributes to improve the nutritional properties of the recipe thanks to its contribution of heart-healthy fats and its high protein content.
