  • 4 tbsp of Spanish extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 slices of rustic bread
  • 1 bay leave
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 Spanish onion
  • 50g of jamon iberico
  • 1 tea spoon of sweet pimenton
  • 1 tbsp of plain flour
  • 1 tbsp of Sherry vinegar
  • 600ml of chicken stock
  • 500g of frozen green peas

Method

  • In a medium size sauce pan pour 1 tbsp of the oil and fry over medium heat the bread on both sides and reserve.
  • Pour the remaining oil and add the finely chopped garlic, onion and jamon iberico and let it fry for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the sweet pimenton and the flour and let it toast for 1 minute. Pour the vinegar and form a roux with it.
  • Bring the heat to its highest and stir constantly while slowly pouring the chicken stock so that the roux dissolves in the stock without forming lumps.

  • Add the sliced bread and serve with some slices of jamon iberico on top.
