3 pan jason recipes

Pan de jamon is the Venezuelan Christmas bread: a soft, butter-rich dough rolled around ham, smoked bacon, olives, and raisins, then baked into a golden spiral loaf.

Loved it, classic french style, simply prepared with a flavor packed jus. One change I made was to brown the chicken breast in a non-stick pan (and then finish cooking by popping it into the oven) before making the sauce to build extra flavor.

Spanish pan con tomate with Serrano ham slow-roasts plum tomatoes for a sweet, garlicky spread piled onto toasted baguette and topped with thin slices of jamón. A classic tapas party platter.
