Pork ham in foil in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Here are all the ingredients you will need for this dish.

2. STEP 2

   

   The main ingredient is, of course, a good pork ham. This is one of the most delicious parts of the pig; it is the hip or shoulder part of the highest grade pork carcass. The meat should be fresh, with a pleasant color and smell and not too fatty

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the ham well under running water and dry with paper towels.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pepper, I prefer to use freshly ground pepper, it makes dishes much tastier and more aromatic

5. STEP 5

   

   Add some red hot pepper

6. STEP 6

   

   We pass the garlic through a press or three onto a fine grater, you can also cut it into slices and cover our ham on all sides

7. STEP 7

   

   Solim

8. STEP 8

   

   Add a little olive oil - we need it so that the meat is better saturated with spices

9. STEP 9

   

   Rub the ham well on all sides with the resulting mixture.

10. STEP 10

    

    To make the meat juicy and flavorful, it must first be marinated. I chose tkemali as the basis for the marinade - this sauce is rich in spices that go well with meat, and its acidic environment will perfectly soften the meat. I have homemade tkemali, I often use it as a marinade for barbecue and as a sauce for cooked meat

11. STEP 11

    

    Cover with cling film and leave to marinate for 1.5-2 hours; I didn’t put it in the refrigerator - this way the meat will marinate faster. You can also marinate the meat the night before and put it in the refrigerator, and bake it the next day

12. STEP 12

    

    We place the marinated pork ham on a sheet of foil, I also poured over the rest of the marinade - during the baking process we get an excellent tasty sauce for the meat

13. STEP 13

    

    We wrap the foil well, bending the edges up - so that there are no gaps, otherwise the meat risks turning out dry.

14. STEP 14

    

    Bake at 180 degrees for 1 hour. It is very important here not to overcook the meat in the oven, otherwise it will turn out dry and tough. This time for baking is quite enough - the meat is completely cooked and turns out tender and juicy. If your ham is smaller or longer, the baking time needs to be adjusted slightly (reduce or increase accordingly)

15. STEP 15

    

    After an hour, carefully open the foil and place the meat in the oven for another 15 minutes. We check readiness with a wooden toothpick - the juice from the meat should be light and transparent.

16. STEP 16

    

    This ham is very tasty both hot and cold. I cut it while it was still hot, so the cut was not so even, but the next day, when the meat had already been in the refrigerator, in my opinion it became even tastier - very tasty with a sandwich for breakfast and as a slice for a holiday table. Bon appetit!

We really like meat baked in a whole piece in the oven. And every time I look for new recipes. I found a recipe: pork ham in foil in the oven, which interested me because tkemali sauce is used for the marinade. And I just had homemade tkemali sauce. I washed the pork, dried it and stuffed it with garlic slices. Rub the meat with a mixture of salt and pepper and pour it over with oil. Then she thickly coated it with tkemali sauce. Covered it with film and put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, I wrapped the meat in foil in several layers and baked it in the oven at 180° for 1 hour. Then I opened the foil and left for another 15 minutes. Mm...what delicious meat it turned out to be, simply divine! Thank you very much nasstin for the recipe!
