Cured Ham Recipe
April 26, 2011 7:35 AM   Subscribe

If you are planning to cook a cured ham or jamon iberico bellota, here is a recipe on how to prepare it.

Ingredients:
* 1 cured ham (jamon iberico bellota)
* Cloves
* Brown sugar
* Bread crumbs
* Water

How to Prepare It:

Before you cook the ham, place it first in a large oval kettle. Cover it with cold water and let it stand for 24 hours at room temperature. Change the water 3 to 4 times.

After 24 hours, clean the well under running water. Make sure you remove all the molds as well as pepper in it. Wash well again with running water.

Place the ham on the kettle, add cool water to cover, and bring to a boil. Remove the froth from the surface from time to time. After boiling it, lower the temperature slightly ans simmer it for 25 to 30 minutes until tender.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the ham from the water, peel off rind, and trim fat to 1/2-inch. Score in a crisscross pattern and stud with cloves. Pat on a thick glaze using brown sugar and bread crumbs.

Place it in a roasting pan and bake for 45 minutes.

Allow it to stand for at least 20 minutes before serving. Hams are usually served at room temperature, or sometimes chilled but almost never hot.

Am I crazy or have we had specifically ham-based FPP shilling before? Are we being targeted by ham shills? If so, why? What does that say about us as a demo?

I need to eat less sodium.

remove all the molds

Personally, I'd chuck any piece of meat with mold on it. But I can see spammers not wanting to be wasteful.

I like how this one, on its surface, does actually attempt to resemble a Metafilter post.

Like: what do those people talk about? I don't know, they share information with each other. It's like they're kind of answering unasked questions about a wide variety of information.

So how do we work ham into that? I don't know, maybe we make it look like we're giving somebody tips on how to make a cured ham, despite the fact that we're actually just selling them cured hams. Like a recipe? Perfect!

And then the mocking and the banning.

I'm off to see if there is any tea kettle large enough to fit a ham inside.
