Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat five liters of water with salt, add honey and rosemary, and pour this brine over the ham. Allow it to cool and steep.

Step 2

Next, make diamond-shaped cuts on the ham and insert a clove into each diamond. Place the ham on a baking sheet and put it in an oven preheated to 446°F for fifteen minutes. Then reduce the heat to 120 degrees and keep it at that temperature for another two hours. Finally, increase the temperature to 180 degrees and remove the ham from the oven after twenty minutes.

Step 3

While frying the pork, slice the cabbage into thin strips and cut the peeled parsnip into long pieces.

Step 4

In a saucepan, heat the butter with sugar and sauté the cabbage in this mixture. Then add water and simmer for half an hour, occasionally adding more liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Mix the parsnip with sunflower oil, salt, and pepper, and roast it in the oven alongside the pork, adding it about half an hour before the pork is done.
