Most Spanish dishes are incredibly simple and this is a perfect example of that. with only 2-3 main ingredients, asparagus, Serrano ham and olive oil (this also works really well with chorizo instead of the ham).
This combination of Jamon or chorizo with a green vegetable is quite common in Spain. In addition to asparagus it’s found with Brussells sprouts , French beans, broad beans, etc. and always cooked in much the same way.
As part of the tapas meal on Sunday I did a Russian salad but because one of my guests cannot eat potatoes, I used cauliflower cut in tiny florets (below) and that works just as well, so, pardon the pun, food for thought!
