Bocadillo With Jamon --- serves 1

The humble bocadillo is the ultimate minimalist Spanish sandwich.
Just a baguette filled with some meat, cheese, omelette or tuna. The
Spanish do not add lettuce, pickles, onions, mustard or mayonnaise
to their bocadillo. Sometimes the bread is moistened by rubbing the
cut side of a tomato onto the bread, or drizzling some olive oil – or
both. But mostly it’s just bread and one filling. I find good quality jamon
is flavoursome and moist enough to enjoy on its own.

If you’re lucky enough to be in Spain you could make this sandwich
with a different type of jamon every day. Proscuitto or parma ham
would make good substitutes.

If you’re feeling nervous that your sandwich will be too dry, serve with
some good extra virgin olive oil on the side. But please try it without
the oil first.
