This classic dish, also known as aspic, has been enjoyed for generations, adding a touch of elegance to holiday tables. Let’s discover together how to prepare a delicious jellied ham step by step and enjoy its unmistakable flavors and textures. Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 1 hour and 40 minutes (in a pressure cooker) or 3-4 hours (in a regular pot) Total time: 2 hours and 20 minutes (or 4-4 hours and 20 minutes) Servings: 8-10 Necessary ingredients: - 1.5 kg ham (preferably with bone for a richer flavor) - 3 large onions - 2 teaspoons of "Secret of Taste" (a vegetable seasoning blend) - 4-5 cloves of garlic (for an intense flavor) - Salt (to taste) - Water (enough to cover the ham) Preparing the jellied ham – Step by step: 1. Preparing the ham: Start by thoroughly cleaning the ham of impurities and fat. This step is essential for achieving a jellied ham with a clean and refined taste. If necessary, you can scorch it on the stove to remove any stray hairs. 2. Boiling the ham: Place the cleaned ham in a pressure cooker. Add the halved onions, salt, and enough water to cover the meat. Close the lid and let it boil for 1 hour and 40 minutes. This will ensure even cooking and allow the flavors to develop. 3. Separating the meat from the bones: After the boiling time has elapsed, use a slotted spoon to remove the ham from the pot and transfer it to a bowl. Strain the resulting broth into a pot, making sure to eliminate any impurities. Then, take the meat from the strainer and let it cool slightly. 4. Preparing the jellied broth: In the pot with the strained broth, add the 2 teaspoons of "Secret of Taste." You can add extra salt if necessary, along with the finely crushed garlic cloves. This combination will give your jellied ham a special flavor. 5. Preparing the meat: When the ham has cooled, separate the meat from the bones and cut it into small pieces. Remove any visible fat, as a less fatty jellied ham will have a more pleasant texture. 6. Assembling the jellied ham: In another bowl, place the pieces of meat and pour the jellied broth over them. Mix well, ensuring the meat is evenly soaked in the flavored broth. 7. Cooling and setting: Divide the mixture into small bowls or jellied ham molds and let them cool. Ideally, you should keep them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or even overnight, to set perfectly. Practical tips for a perfect result: - Use bone-in ham, as it will release natural gelatin during boiling, helping the jellied ham to set better. - If you like, you can add diced boiled carrots to the jellied ham for added color and nutrients. - For an even more intense flavor, you can also use a few peppercorns and bay leaves during boiling. Serve with…: Jellied ham is usually served with mustard or horseradish, alongside a beetroot salad or a fresh green salad. A perfect drink to accompany this dish would be a plum brandy or a dry white wine, which will complement the flavors beautifully. Nutritional information: This jellied ham is an excellent source of protein and contains essential minerals such as iron and zinc. Consumed in moderation, it can be a healthy choice for festive meals. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use another type of meat? Yes, you can experiment with other types of meat, such as pork or turkey, but the cooking time will vary. - How can I avoid strong odors during cooking? By adding onions and a few sprigs of parsley during boiling, you will reduce the specific smell of the meat. - Can jellied ham be frozen? Yes, jellied ham can be frozen, but it is recommended to consume it fresh to enjoy the best flavor and texture. Jellied Ham – a classic recipe with an unmistakable taste that will surely impress everyone who savors it. I hope you enjoy every step of the preparation and every bite of this traditional dish!
