L as my mother prepares beans are simple, but they taste good and authentic. As always it happens, in the family recipes are implied feelings, perhaps so difficult to define the plate, so I'd better judge yourselves from the photos. A picture is always worth a thousand words. RECIPE Ingredients for 3 people: A kilo and a half of fresh beans in their pods or 400 gr. shelled / 12 type Marcona almonds / 3 eggs / 1 bay leaf / 2 tsp (dessert) of paprika / 100 gr. serrano ham, cut into strips / 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar / olive oil / salt / pepper / / Chopped: 3 cloves garlic / 3 slices of narrow baguette / a pinch of cumin / / Optional twig mint.
Preparation:
1 .- First shelled beans.
2 .- In a pan with 8 tablespoons of oil fry the chopped ingredients: bread, almonds and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes or until everything is golden. He was then Crush in a mortar with half a teaspoon of cumin. Dissolve chopped with a little water or wine and reserve.
3 .- In the same oil to fry the above we will take 2 teaspoons of paprika to the pan off the heat to avoid burning out. Then add the vinegar, beans, bay leaf and ham. The sauté over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes and add the chopped sprig of mint and 2 cups water - approx .- to barely cover the beans. We will try to boil and the pan has a slow but steady boil throughout the cooking time required (these were ready in 25 minutes, it may take a little longer, or perhaps less, all depends on how tender they are).
4 .- At the last moment the eggs curdle. The'll take over the beans until set point that we want.
Variations: My mother also often added to beans a bunch of asparagus when in season. Sometimes chorizo \u200b\u200breplacing the ham or bacon fresh pork. And also puts pudding in this case you know you have to cook it whole so as not to undo or chop and incorporate it into the last moment, while eggs.
