Jambon braisé à la bière et à l’érable (Ham Braised In Maple Beer)
- Servings: 6
- Prep: 30m
- Cook: 75m
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 leek (white part only, finely chopped)
- 1 carrot, diced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (maple sugar)
- 2 pounds smoked ham (with bone, pierced with 8 or more cloves, 1 kg)
- 1 tomato, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
- 1 bouquet garni (1 bay leaf and sprigs of fresh thyme and flat-leaf parsley tied together, or tied in a cheesecloth bag)
- 24 ounces beer (two bottles, 12 ounce/342 mL each, Schoune L’Érabière maple-flavoured beer - see Note)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Step 2: In a deep, heavy, stovetop-safe casserole dish, melt butter over medium heat and cook onion, leek, and carrot just until tender, about 5 minutes. Add maple sugar and continue cooking, stirring often, until mixture is lightly caramelized. Set ham on vegetables and then add tomato, bouquet garni, and beer to the casserole dish.
-
Step 3: Roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and roast for another 45 minutes, basting occasionally.
-
Step 4: Remove casserole dish from the oven, place ham on a warmed serving platter, cover loosely with foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Carve ham and serve on warmed serving plates, accompanied by vegetables and beer sauce.
-
Note: You can use light beer mixed with 2 tablespoons (30 mL) maple syrup instead of Schoune L’Érabière
