    How to serve

    As tapas

    Serve as part of a Spanish tapas-style dinner with: Tortilla de Patatas, Croquetas and even a couple of sweet tapas dishes such as my Bica cake recipe or a Flan de Huevo.

    For more tapas ideas check out my Easy guide to Spanish Tapas.

    As a pasta dish

    Toss with cooked pasta (fabulous with linguine or pappardelle) or with noodles or rice, even quinoa.

    Can I double this recipe?

    Yes. Feel free to proportionally increase the quantities as needed (be careful not to increase the olive oil though).

    I'd leave the cooking times the same.

    This will serve 2-3 people depending on what else you serve it with, of course.

    Can I cook it without the Serrano ham so that it's vegetarian?

    Yes, of course! In fact, it will be lovely!

    All you have to do is skip the Serrano ham altogether.

    How to pressure cook Setas al Ajillo

    Check out my pressure cooker recipe, easy!

    How to cook on the hob

    Don't have a Thermomix but would love to try this recipe?

    1. Chop the garlic finely.
    2. Heat up the oil in a frying pan, medium-high.
    3. Add the garlic and the serrano ham, careful that the garlic doesn't burn, stir regularly.
    4. When the serrano ham is looking golden, add the mushrooms. Stir well to coat them in all the juices, turn the heat down a tiny bit until the mushrooms look ready, 5 minutes or so.
    5. Serve with grated cheese over the top and a nice bit of good bread, grab a good chunk of said bread and dip it in the sauce. No, I insist, you must do this first! OR, for a bigger meal, you can just add cooked pasta, noodles, rice, mix well and serve.

    • Add 15 g olive oil + diced Serrano ham: 3 mins, Varoma, speed 1
    • Add 130 g mushrooms: 120ºC in the TM5 or TM6 and Varoma in the TM31, reverse, 5 minutes, soft speed (the stirring spoon symbol)

    To serve

    • Grate Parmesan or manchego cheese over the top and serve with good crusty bread to dip in the sauce OR perfect if you toss it with cooked pasta or add cooked noodles. Particularly good with linguine
