Mushrooms with Ham (Almost Ferran Adrià's)

An approachable recipe from Ferran Adrià that comes together in 5 minutes. How many dishes from the world's top ten chefs can you actually make in five minutes? It's amazing how adding a third ingredient — one you'd never expect — to two things that already go together creates such a clean, beautiful flavor combination. I won't claim "no one but Ferran Adrià could have thought of it"... but he did think of it, and he shared it with the world, for which I'm very grateful.

Step 1:

All the ingredients for the recipe.
Step 2:
1. If you're using button mushrooms (and this goes for nice, unblemished porcini too), don't wash them — just brush off any dirt with a brush or a dry cloth. This keeps the mushrooms' aroma and prevents them from soaking up water.
Step 3:
1. Slice the mushrooms — in our case, button mushrooms.
Step 4:
1. Heat a good olive oil in a skillet and fry the bacon or ham in it.
Step 5:
1. Turn down the heat, pour in the sherry, and toss in the mushrooms. The button mushrooms needed hardly any time — literally a couple of minutes — and porcini are the same; other wild mushrooms may take a little longer. Season with fresh parsley and pepper.
