Preparation mode
She makes incisions along the ham and season with sliced garlic, salt, black pepper and oil. Let the meat rest in the mixture for at least two hours. Heat the oven to 180°C. Place the ham in a roasting pan and let it roast for approximately two hours, during this period, water the piece of meat with its own juice. Take it out of the oven and let it rest. For the sauce, beat the plums in a blender with 100 ml of hot water, be careful with the hot steam that will come out of the blender. Mix with mustard and walnuts and finally add salt.
Comments
- Serve the sauce warm;
- Serves five people.
