Healthy and loaded with delicious, smokey flavors, this is one delicious side dish.
Notes:
* ~ You could use prosciutto, pancetta or chicken sausage instead of the ham. It would also be quite delicious without any meat, as well.
** ~ Sun-dried tomatoes can be purchased in oil (usually in glass jars) or in bags or packets without the oil. I prefer the ones not packed in oil as they are much lower in calories and don't add a lot of extra fat. If you purchase them dried, without the oil and they seem a bit hard, just re-hydrate for a few minutes with a bit of boiling hot water, then drain and use according to your recipe.
