Ham producers do not skimp on various stabilizers, flavor enhancers, preservatives and even colorants in order to keep the final product longer and turn out as beautiful as possible. If you don't want to burden your body with harmful chemicals, make your own ham for sandwiches.
It is necessary
- - 1 kg of pork peritoneum;
- - 2 liters of water;
- - 5 bay leaves;
- - 1 tbsp. Sahara;
- - 1/4 cup salt;
- - 1 tsp each fennel seeds, allspice and black pepper;
- - 1 head of garlic.
Instructions
Step 1
Clean the pork layer from fat and films. Pour water into a saucepan, bring it to a boil and remove from heat. Add sugar, salt, allspice, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, and bay leaf. Peel the garlic, pass it through a press and coat the prepared meat with it on all sides. When the seasoned water has cooled to room temperature, add the pork and garlic to it. Cover the pot with a lid and refrigerate for 3-4 days. During this period of time, do not forget to periodically turn the meat.
Step 2
Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry. If you wish, you can add some spices, such as paprika. Roll the meat into a tight roll and wrap in several layers of cling film. It is important that the polyethylene fits snugly around it, leaving no holes.
Step 3
Immerse the roll in water heated to 70 ° C and keep it for hours. After this time, remove the meat and pay attention to how much juice is released. When cooled, it turns to jelly and fills the voids in the middle of the roll.
