17 delicious ham recipes to please both young and old, from everyday favorites to creative new ideas
If we tell you that it's pink, that it's eaten raw or cooked, that it can be whole or sliced? Yes, you've guessed it, we're talking about ham, and more precisely about the countless delicious recipes it's part of!
More about ham...
It's made from the whole leg of an animal, most often a pig. It is one of the most famous charcuterie products that gourmets of all ages love to eat. France is a major producer. There's no need to introduce the Paris (cooked) or Bayonne (raw) charcuterie, the most familiar of them all. On the Italian side, Parma ham is also very famous. Did you know that this delicacy already existed in the days of the Roman Empire?
Ham, a key ingredient in everyday recipes
Ideal for everyday meals, an infinite number of recipes are available. Among the simplest but no less delicious recipes is the famous buttered ham: bread, butter, cheese, salad and you're done!
As an alternative, prefer the more convivial toast. Add a slice of mozzarella, a slice of tomato and a few basil leaves for a direct trip to Italy. We also love gratins, salads, quiches, puff pastries and ham-based pizza, which never goes out of fashion!
