Thawing:
Simply remove from the refrigerator or the freezer and thaw for a few minutes. No cooking or heating required.
Serving Ideas:
Simple is best: Let the Jamón be the star. Pair it with simple accompaniments that won't overpower the flavor.
Here are some popular options:
Bread: Crusty bread like baguette or a light wheat bread is a classic choice. You can toast it for added texture.
Pan con tomate: This is toasted bread rubbed with tomato and drizzled with olive oil. A Spanish favorite!
Melon: A surprising but delicious pairing! The sweetness of the melon cuts through the richness of the Jamón.
Olives: Spanish olives, like green Manzanilla or cured Kalamata, add a salty and briny counterpoint.
Drinks: Spanish wines like Rioja or a dry sherry complement the Jamón beautifully. You can also enjoy it with a cold beer for a casual setting.
Beyond the basics: While Jamón Ibérico shines on its own, you can also incorporate it into dishes like:
Eggs: Top scrambled or fried eggs with Jamón for a luxurious breakfast.
Salad: Shaved Jamón adds a delightful salty and savory touch to salads.
Pasta: For a gourmet pasta dish, toss cooked pasta with olive oil, grated cheese, and slivers of Jamón.
