Lentils with Serrano Ham - labradors - 01-01-2012

This sounded good enough to translate. Not quantities were specified, but you can tell it's not something that requires very exact quantities.

Thanks, Labs, been looking for something to do with those lentils. Probably won't use that much garlic but it looks good. Love the Parm addition!

That looks really good, Labs. Nice pics too. I'll have to see if I can find serrano ham. Don't know why it was so scarce last time I needed it for a recipe.

The recipe and photos are from Venezuelan chef Sumito Estévez.

Does sound good!

Looks really good! I think Trader Joe's may carry Serrano Ham but it might be sliced thin which might not be best for this.

Thanks, Trixxee, I think you're right about TJ's. I'm going to check.

This looks so good, but the only Serrano I've seen has been thin slice? Maybe Fresh Market?
