If you need an example of how delicious a tapas dish can be using only a few ingredients then give Broad Beans With Jamon a try-out. If memory serves I first encountered this dish after enduring the crowds at the El Rasto market one Sunday. I brought a tie, hand painted with a strange little space creature.
The broth then was rather thicker and more intense than what I create at home; wonderful mopped up with a chunk of bread. You can adjust the strength and flavour as you see fit. Just ensure the Jamon is of a decent quality and you pod the beans!
