Spicy Pork Ham

Ingredients

  • 1 kg pork (belly, with skin, boneless)
  • 25 g salt
  • 1 tsp powdered sugar
  • 100 ml cold water
  • hot spice or chili mix to taste
  • 2–3 dried hot peppers, crushed
  • ground black pepper, optional

Method of preparation

  1. Prepare the meat, leaving the skin on – it will help with better gelling and juiciness.
  2. Mix the salt, sugar, and water.
  3. Rub the meat thoroughly with this mixture so that the spices are evenly distributed.
  4. Sprinkle with the hot spice, crushed hot peppers, and black pepper if desired.
  5. Roll the meat into a tight roll.
  6. Place it in the ham cooker bag and then into the ham cooker.
  7. Refrigerate for 48–72 hours.

Cooking

  • Water temperature: 70–80°C
  • Time: 2.5–3 hours

After cooking, cool thoroughly before slicing.

Tip

Serve with pickled vegetables, mustard, or freshly baked bread.
