Spanish Ham Sandwich with Vegetables

Ingredients

• 1 loaf baguette
• 4 oz cured ham (e.g., serrano)
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 1 jalapeño
• 6 cherry tomatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the 1 baguette lengthwise and toast the cut sides in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

2. 2

   Thinly slice the 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 onion, and 1 jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).

3. 3

   Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced peppers, onion, and jalapeño. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, about 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Halve the 6 cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for 2 more minutes, until tomatoes are just warmed through.

5. 5

   Layer the 4 oz cured ham on the bottom half of the toasted baguette.

6. 6

   Pile the cooked vegetables over the ham, then close the sandwich with the top half. Slice and serve warm.

7. 7

   Optional: add a pinch of smoked paprika or a drizzle of olive oil before closing.
