Today I'm making a vegetable medley with jamón and boiled egg—a straightforward recipe that takes care of mealtime with zero fuss. Using a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, diced serrano ham, and a hard-boiled egg, I have lunch for two ready in just 25 minutes. It's my go-to on busy days when I want to eat my veggies without spending ages in the kitchen.

The jamón adds plenty of rich flavor, so I always taste before adding any extra salt. The hard-boiled egg turns it into a complete, satisfying meal, and that final drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil ties everything together nicely. A wonderful everyday dish made with just a handful of ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Can I freeze this vegetable medley with ham and egg?

You can freeze the cooked vegetables and jamón, but it's best to leave out the hard-boiled egg, as the egg white gets rubbery when thawed. Freeze in individual portions and add a freshly boiled egg when ready to serve.

How long will it keep in the fridge?

Store it in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 2 days. Don't leave it out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.

What can I use instead of serrano ham?

You can swap it for diced cooked turkey breast or, for a meatless option, drained canned chickpeas. Be sure to taste before adding salt, since serrano ham naturally seasons the whole dish.
