About this recipe
“Setas con jamon” is a very simple yet delicious dish commonly served as tapas in Spain. It can be translated as “mushrooms with ham”.
This dish has a nice garlicky taste where the juices of the oyster mushrooms meet the fat of the Serrano ham blending together into a perfect marriage. Parma ham or Pancetta can work as a substitute when Serrano ham is not locally available.
The traditional recipe normally adds eggs on the equation, but I just prefer this way.
