Delicious Homemade Ham: Tradition and Flavor

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The 24-hour dry cure in the refrigerator dehydrates superficially and allows the salt and seasonings to penetrate the piece. - Cooking with water at the bottom of the baking sheet covered with aluminum foil prevents the meat from losing moisture and hardening. - Reaching an internal temperature of 70°C ensures biological safety without drying out the center of the meat.

Ingredients

Main Course

1 kg of pork (leg or shoulder)
100 g of coarse salt
50 g of sugar
5 g of black pepper
5 g of garlic powder
5 g of bay leaf (powdered or whole leaves)
250 ml of water

Instructions

Main Course

In a bowl, mix the salt, sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, and bay leaf.

Esfregue essa mistura na carne, garantindo que todos os lados estejam bem temperados.

Wrap the meat in plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Remove the meat from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 180°C.

Place the meat in a baking dish and add water to the bottom of the dish.

Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil, ensuring the meat does not dry out during cooking.

Bake for approximately 1h30min, removing the aluminum foil in the last 30 minutes to brown.

The ideal point is when the meat reaches 70°C in the center.

Chef Tips

- Tie the pork leg roast with kitchen twine before marinating to maintain a cylindrical shape and uniform slices. - Let the meat rest for 20 minutes before cutting so that the internal juices redistribute through the fiber. - Use a long and sharp knife to get thin and uniform slices after cooling.

Variations

- Presunto com crosta de mostarda: pincele mostarda escura e açúcar mascavo nos últimos 20 minutos de forno sem o papel. - Toque defumado: adicione uma colher de chá de páprica defumada à mistura de cura seca inicial. - Presunto cravado: espete cravos-da-índia na superfície da carne antes de levar à assadeira.

Substitutions

- The pork leg can be replaced by pork shoulder or loin, noting that the loin requires 15 minutes less oven time. - Powdered bay leaf can be swapped for 3 dried bay leaves crushed manually in the mortar. - Garlic powder can be replaced by 3 fresh garlic cloves crushed into a paste with the salt.

How to Store

Wait for it to cool, wrap tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To maintain moisture, slice only the amount that will be consumed immediately at each meal.

Can You Freeze It?

Can be frozen already sliced in portions separated by parchment paper inside airtight bags for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours before consuming cold or heated on a hot griddle.

What to Serve With

Serve thinly sliced with sourdough bread, cured minas cheese, and good quality Dijon mustard. In hot meals, it goes very well with rustic mashed potatoes and green leaf salad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the meat not become excessively salty with 100 g of coarse salt?

Part of the salt draws out moisture and dissolves into the marinade; if you prefer less salty, quickly rinse the piece under running water before baking.

How do I know if the ham has reached 70°C without a cooking thermometer?

Insert a metal skewer or fork into the center of the thickest piece; the liquids that sprout should come out completely transparent, without pink color.
