This recipe is courtesy of Omar Allibhoy from his cookbook Spanish Made SimpleThis simple recipe carries an explosion of flavor. It makes a great starter (appetizer) when you are entertaining friends or family, as you can leave it hot in the oven until you need it. I use portobello mushrooms but you can use any flat mushroom, or even large oyster types. — Omar Allibhoy

  • 4 portobello mushrooms, stalks trimmed

  3. Meanwhile, for the ham mayonnaise, blend the egg yolk, garlic clove, salt, lemon juice, and ham in a food processor and then start to add the oil in a steady stream until you have a mayonnaise.
