π½οΈ Recipe Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 10 | Smoked ham |
| 2 | Onions |
| 1 | Leek |
| 1 5/8 | Red wine |
| 1/2 | Mushroom |
| 2 | Butter |
| 1/2 | Water |
| Salt | |
| Pepper | |
| 2 | Butter |
| 2 | Flour |
πͺ Recipe Instructions:
-
Loosen the skin from the ham and simmer with the onions and leek for 1 hour in a roasting pan, adding all but Β½ cup of the red wine for a flavorful base.
-
Remove the ham from the roaster, then carefully cut away and discard any tough outer skin to reveal the tender meat beneath.
-
In a separate pan, brown the mushrooms in butter until they develop a rich, golden color and a fragrant aroma fills the kitchen.
-
Make a generous slash in the top of the ham, creating a pocket large enough to hold the savory mushroom mixture.
-
Skewer the opening to secure the filling in place, ensuring each bite is bursting with flavor and texture.
-
In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat, then gradually incorporate 2 tablespoons of flour to create a roux, which will serve as the base for the decadent sauce.
-
Pour the liquid from the roaster into the saucepan, stirring continuously to blend the flavors and achieve a smooth consistency.
-
Slowly add the reserved Β½ cup of red wine, allowing it to infuse the sauce with its rich, fruity notes as it simmers gently on the stove.
-
Once the sauce reaches the desired thickness and flavor, pour it over the ham in the roasting pan, ensuring each inch is coated in the luscious mixture.
-
Preheat your oven to 375ΒΊF (190ΒΊC), then bake the ham until it reaches a tender perfection, typically around 25 minutes per pound, basting it regularly with the flavorful juices from the pan to enhance its succulence and aroma.
-
As the ham bakes, take the opportunity to baste it at least every 30 minutes, ensuring it remains moist and infused with the delectable flavors of the wine and spices.
-
Once fully cooked, remove the ham from the oven and allow it to rest briefly before carving into thick, juicy slices that will delight your taste buds and leave your guests clamoring for more.
