Homemade ham is many times tastier than store-bought.
At least you know what you put there yourself. This already sounds delicious. What if you add your favorite spices and dry aromatic herbs? What a find! The process itself is not labor-intensive, I would even say easy. The main thing is to get some meat, then get someone to wash the meat grinder and find the endurance in yourself while the delicacy cools.
It cuts great, doesn't crumble or break. Very tasty with mustard, especially French mustard. Well, that's what I love so much. And you choose to suit your taste: mustard, horseradish or just a slice of bread. This amount of ingredients yielded 1 kg 350 grams of the finished product.
Ингредиенты
Chicken meat – 2 kg
Salt – 2 tbsp.
Spices – 1 tbsp.
Рецепт
1. Prepare ingredients for preparing chicken ham in a ham maker according to the list. The meat used must be well chilled. Before use, it must be kept in the refrigerator for several hours.
2. To prepare chicken ham, I used meat from thighs and drumsticks. I think the chicken itself would have been dry. The skin and veins, of course, need to be removed. And cut the meat itself into small pieces, about 1x1 cm.
3. Approximately 1/4 of the total meat needs to be ground in a meat grinder. In this case, it is better to use a grill with large holes. If desired, you can add 1-2 cloves of garlic at this stage.
4. Place the minced meat over the chopped meat. Add spices and salt. For spices, I used a mixture of cumin, basil, coriander, nutmeg, red hot pepper and paprika flakes.
5. Then knead well and mix the meat with the minced meat.
6. You can use a mixer. Since my mixer couldn’t handle it, I had to do everything by hand. You need to do this quickly, intensively and for a long time. The meat should become viscous, but it must remain cool. If you feel that your hands are warm, put them in the cold for a while.
7. Cover the ham pan with a food bag or sleeve.
8. Place the prepared meat filling inside, pressing tightly with a spoon. You need to try to ensure that there is practically no air left in the sleeve.
9. Twist the top edge and press the lid.
10. Then tighten the 4 springs one by one. Place the ham in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
11. Turn on low heat and continue cooking the chicken ham in the ham cooker for 2-2.5 hours. The water temperature should not exceed 85 degrees.
12. After the time has passed, remove the container with the meat and immediately place it in a bowl of cold water for 5-7 minutes. Then place in the refrigerator until completely cooled. It’s better not to rush here, let the meat cool well.
13. Remove the springs and lid from the ham maker and remove the bag of ham. Carefully remove the bag and that’s it – homemade, aromatic, juicy and very tasty ham is ready!
14. Get the mustard and call your family, friends and neighbors. Treat everyone to delicious meat, and in return listen to praise addressed to you.
15. Bon appetit.
16. Cook with love.
