Fried smoked ham is a gourmet dish of European cuisine that combines the rich aroma of smoking with the tenderness of roasted meat. This recipe originates from traditional cooking where smoking was used to preserve meat and enhance flavor depth. Before cooking, the ham undergoes a soaking process to remove excess salt and highlight its natural juiciness. Baked at moderate temperatures, it reveals a rich meaty flavor with a subtle sweet note and an appetizing golden crust. Served as a main dish, it pairs perfectly with savory sauces, stewed vegetables, or aromatic bread. This delicacy will adorn the festive table, gather loved ones for a meal, and provide true gastronomic pleasure.
