Tapas Recipe With Mango And Orange

By:


The world's finest ham is Iberico de Bellota and it is fitting to say that it is incomparable because it has a very unique and distinct taste. Some would say that using premium bellota ham in recipes is a crime because the nutty flavours and aromas will not be appreciated if it is covered up by the other ingredients. Many argue that it should just be enjoyed by itself in its raw and unadulterated flavour for a complete gastronomic experience.

We each have different tastes and you will still be the judge of this in the end. Although, there are some recipes where the addition of Iberico ham will enhance the flavour of the dish or enhance further the flavour of the Iberian ham. Keep the flavors in the recipe simple if you plant to use iberico ham in it and let the ham carry the entire flavor of the dish. Do not add overpowering ingredients because they will only dampen the flavour of the ham. The ham should be the center of the dish because it is already a star even just by itself. Iberian ham is the best ham and it is simply right that it should not be smothered by other ingredients.

Spanish ham goes very well with fruits and it is in fact a very classic combination that most Spaniards rely on when serving Spanish ham. Grapes and apples are the best combination of fruits that would go well with ham and a serving of manchego cheese. You can also try peaches and nectarines. An unusual pairing would be oranges and ham. Try a slice of ham, oranges, and a drizzle of olive on it if you are not sure about this pairing? I can assure you that this will work well together even though it might seem like a weird pairing. Spanish ham can be treated just like wine because of its complex flavours and aroma. Spanish ham can be paired with fruits and cheeses just like wine.

For this recipe, you will need to use the best extra virgin olive oil that you can get and it should taste slightly peppery. This recipe will yield four to five tapas and you will need 100 g of iberico bellota ham, one orange, half of a ripe mango, and the best extra virgin olive oil. Peel the orange and slice it thinly and arrange around the rim of a plate. Cut the mangoes into cubes and arrange on the center of the plate. Arrange the slices of Iberian ham over the fruits and drizzle a good amount of extra virgin olive oil all over.

This is a very quick and easy dish to prepare and you don't even need complicated kitchen tools to make it. You can also try iberico ham with other fruits and whatever else that will suit your taste.
