  1. We enjoyed these beans -- they make a nice hearty meal or side; especially if you want to serve them over rice. Loved the flavors. Made for PRMR, August, 2013
     
  2. I found some Jamon Serrano and used that instead of the ham! Expensive, yes, but definitely worth it. My guests at my tapas party raved about the beans!!
