Ham

Salted caramel is an indispensable part of the cooking world these days. Biscuits, pudding or chocolate, you will find it everywhere. But ham? You don’t see that often. In this recipe I show you the magical combination of salted caramel with ham, the sous vide way!

Ingredients

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

Preparation

  1. The preparation of the ham on the bone

    Set your sous vide device to 65 degrees. Put the gammon 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 big sous vide bag? You can do this order in our shop.

  2. caramel

    Meanwhile we make the caramel, which we will use later. Melt the sugar and water in a pan until the mass 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. Out of 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 at your own discretion and taste.

  4. Into the oven

    Place the meat in the oven for 10 minutes and take it out. Then baste the ham with another layer of caramel. Return the meat to 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 sprinkle the meat again and burn 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.
