Green Beans, Peas & Parma Ham – A Delicious Summer Side Dish

Green Beans, Peas and Parma Ham – A delicious summer side dish. Simple to make and ready in just 10 minutes.

Green beans in a pan

As I mentioned in my recent recipe for roasted new potatoes with rosemary and garlic, I believe that some foods suit the summer and some are more wintery. This is definitely something I would classify as a summer side dish. Perfect alongside a grilled chicken breast, those new potatoes I mentioned before and a chilled glass of white wine in the garden.

Originally I didn’t make this with parma ham, but I had some left over in the fridge and thought I’d use it up. I don’t know about you but I find that anything bacon-ish is a pretty magic ingredient, almost like an extra yummy seasoning. If you don’t have parma ham then bacon or pancetta would also work well.

      Thanks Renee. I know how incredibly healthy your diet is so you’ve made me feel all virtuous saying that. No doubt I’ll ruin it soon enough by eating some chocolate or cake 🙂
