Quick and Delicious: Ferran Adria's Mushroom and Ham Delight

A recipe accessible to everyone from Ferran Adria, prepared in 5 minutes. Do you know many dishes from dozens of world top chefs that can be prepared in 5 minutes? It’s simply amazing when, to two frequently combined ingredients, a third one is suddenly added, which “wasn’t there” — and suddenly such a beautiful and pure taste combination is obtained! I won’t say “which no one except Ferran Adria thought of”... But he thought of it and made it available to the general public. For which I thank him very much.

All ingredients for the recipe

Step 2

Step 2
1. If you use champignons (and this also applies to decent-looking, unbrushed white ones, for example) — do not wash them, but clean them of dirt with a brush or dry cloth — this allows you to preserve the aroma of the mushroom and prevent it from absorbing water when washing.

2. Slice the mushrooms, in our case these are champignons.

Step 4

Step 4
3. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon or ham in it.

Step 5

Step 5
4. Reduce heat, add sherry and add mushrooms. The champignons needed very little, literally a couple of minutes, with white mushrooms it will be the same; for other types of wild mushrooms the cooking time may be longer. Season with fresh parsley and pepper.
