This is one of our favourite recipes. We call it 'Nigella beans' or simply 'Nigella', because we first saw it on one of Nigella Lawson's cooking TV shows.

I think we originally saw it made with asparagus, but tried replacing it with French beans (cheaper and easier to find) and it works just as well.

Ingredients

• French beans
• Parma ham
• Balsamic vinegar

Preparation

1. Steam the French beans and let them cool.
2. Pour a generous amount of balsamic vinegar over them and stir to coat them well.
3. Wrap eight to twelve bean stalks, depending on size, in a slice of Parma ham.
4. Serve two to three bundles per person and drizzle with more balsamic vinegar.
