It's nice to receive presents especially around this time of the year. One of the best I got so far was from a lovely Spanish lady. And this is it.
*cue angelic choir singing*
A packed of jamon or pronounced HAMON or good old ham in English. It's also called prosciutto but the Spanish version is supposedly less salty than the Italian counterpart.
So here is a simple recipe to share.
Plump tomato to be diced.
Fluffy cream cheese.
Olive oil
Toasted bread of your choice for that extra crunch. And now we assemble.
Align the crunchy toasted bread.
I know it looked like Sky took a leak here, trust me it's just olive oil. Really.
Spread that creme cheese around.
Lay out the tomatoes. Diced, sliced or grilled up to your palate.
Put the jamon on top. You could take a long piece and curl it to set on top or shread it into bite sized chunks
And there you have it, simple yet delicious treat to leave your mouth wanting more.
I decided to tweak the recipe a little so I added a small splash of red wine vinegar. Perhaps because my tomatoes were sweet so the vinegar really balanced out the overall taste.
Great for non halal parties or Christmas gatherings.
There you have it, Jamon.
Have a lovely December an remember, it's better to give than to receive.
