Notes
We chose Marqués de Prado because it is a mild, sweet EVOO, ideal for balancing the saltiness of the ham.
They can be grilled instead of stewed for a lighter version.
It pairs well with a side of baker-style potatoes or mashed potatoes.
They can be assembled and left in the fridge overnight, ready to cook when needed.
