Meal Time

Serves

6

2 cups quartered artichoke hearts
2 cups diced carrots
2 cups shelled peas
2 cups cut green beans, 1 in pieces
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, medium size, minced or finely chopped
2 leeks, in julienne
1 slice ham, preferably Serrano, in strips (optional)
2 eggs, hard boiled

Methods/steps

Take water to the boil in a pan. When ready, add carrots and peas first; mushrooms and beans five minutes later. Boil for five minutes. Strain the vegetables keeping the liquid to use later.
Heat the oil in another pan. Saute onion and leek for five minutes on a low heat; they will become translucent. Set the heat to medium; add the ham and saute for another two minutes. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid previously reserved and take to boil. Add the vegetables to the pan, season, and cook for a further five minutes.
Serve on a plate, garnished with triangles of fried bread and hard boil egg quarters.
