Ham

Salted caramel is now an indispensable part of the cooking world. Cookies, pudding or chocolate, you can find it everywhere. But ham? You don't see that very often. In this recipe I will show you the magical combination of salted caramel and ham, the sous vide way!

Ingredients:

• 400 gr ham
• 1 red onion
• 2 carrots
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 75 g sugar
• 50 ml water
• (smoked) sea salt
• (smoked) butter

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ham: Set your sous vide device to 65 degrees. Put the ham together with the carrots, onion, black pepper and bay leaves in a sous vide bag and let it cook for 2.5 hours in the water bath. Don't have a large sous vide bag ? You can order one in our shop.
2. Caramel: In the meantime, we make the caramel, which we will use later. Melt the sugar and water in a pan until the mixture is golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the smoked butter . Let the mixture simmer for about 3 minutes and turn off the heat.
3. From the water bath: Remove the meat from the sous vide bag and let it drain. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place a sheet of baking paper on the baking tray and place the meat on it. Add the caramel mass to the ham. This can be done with a spatula or brush. Then sprinkle some salt on the ham, this can be done according to your own insight and taste.
4. In the oven: Place the meat in the oven for 10 minutes and remove it. Then baste the ham with another layer of caramel. Place the meat back in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the meat from the oven and let it rest. Is the caramel layer not yet clearly visible? Then you can baste the meat again and briefly burn it with our cooking burner . Cut the meat into nice slices. You can make delicious ham sandwiches with this. In this example, we serve the ham with truffle and an omelette.
