How to make Sautéed Green Beans with Ham and Garlic:
1.For the preparation of this recipe, we have opted for round green beans, but if you prefer you can use another type. That said, the first thing to do is wash the beans, remove the ends and cook them in plenty of boiling water, with a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt if we want to enhance the flavor. Once ready, we drain them and reserve.
2.Separately, peel the garlic and cut it into thin slices. Once this is done, we take a non-stick frying pan, heat a little oil and, once hot, sauté the garlic.
3.While the garlic is sautéed, cut the ham into strips to taste. Before the garlic begins to color, we add the Serrano ham and sauté it.
4.Once the previous ingredients are made, we add the beans and sauté them with the ham and garlic. At this point, we add pepper and cumin to taste, as well as a splash of white wine to enhance the flavor of the recipe. The spices are to taste, so if you prefer you can add others, such as oregano or rosemary.
5.Clever! We serve the sautéed green beans with ham and garlic immediately, with a good splash of olive oil, and enjoy them hot. To accompany, some baked potatoes are perfect.
