When any significant holiday looms on the horizon, the hostess begins to make a solemn menu. And its meat part is almost the most important. Chopped and different versions of meat in French, many of us no longer seem something special. But the pork ham cooked in the oven gives the festive table charm, teases the guests with its look and aroma and kindles a brutal appetite. You can cook it in a thousand different ways; from the whole variety we have chosen the most tempting recipes.
A simple recipe with a photo of pork ham
In the oven, meat is often dry, and many housewives refuse to cook in this way for the festive table. But in vain! You just need to find out what the secret is. To make the meat juicy and tasty, a large assortment of related products is not necessary at all. You can get by with a minimum and get a wonderful result. I wash a good piece of pork and dry it with towels, make deep enough slots in it, into which we rub the salt mixed with adjika. You can put in the "pockets" plates of garlic and carrots. For coating, mix in a bowl sour cream with mayonnaise in equal proportions, and add mustard and herbs to your liking. We apply the mixture from all sides of the ham, wrap it with foil and pickle for three hours right in the kitchen and two in the refrigerator.
Then wrap the pork ham in foil. In the oven, he will spend 50 minutes at 220 Celsius and another 40 at 180. Then we expand the shelter, grease the top of the meat with honey and mustard and wait until a crust forms.
Pork onion
Meat will need about one and a half kilograms. If there is less or more available, we recalculate the number of ingredients.
We clean and cut the garlic in bars. In arbitrary places of the ham, we make small incisions and we stuff it with the obtained segments. We cut the onion into half rings - about five large heads - and lay it on the baking sheet. In an incomplete glass of water, we dilute a spoonful of balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. This solution is poured onto a “pillow”. On top of the onion, lay the butter chopped into small pieces, 80 grams, put the pork grated with salt, pepper and Italian herbs. Cover with foil and put the pork ham in the oven for an hour and a half. After removing the foil, keep the dish in the oven for another 15 minutes.
Maybe a little longer if the crust seems bright enough to you. Pork ham baked in the oven according to this recipe is good both hot and cold.
"Harmonic"
When creating this culinary masterpiece, we start with the preparation of the marinade. For it, grind three garlic cloves and mix them with three tablespoons of soy sauce, vegetable oil (suitable and sunflower) and grain mustard - we take two tablespoons of these ingredients. We squeeze the half of the lemon into the marinade and drop a ham dotted with parallel deep cuts into it (we don’t cut to the end only 5 mm). We hold pork for about an hour, during which we cut into slices 100 grams of cheese, a couple of tomatoes and five large mushrooms.
In slices of pickled meat we put slices of vegetables with a cheese plate, tightly wrap it in foil and put the pork ham in the oven for an hour. Before cutting, the meat should "breathe" for 10-15 minutes.
Small clarification
Some housewives prefer to fry the mushrooms before putting in the ham in a skillet. Others replace them with eggplant - in this case, the vegetable is pre-salted and the expressed liquid is expressed, so as not to get bitter. You can even do with only tomatoes and cheese, it will also be very tasty.
Meat in dough
The proposed recipe for pork ham baked in the oven is quite troublesome. But the result of the hassle is just amazing taste and is truly a festive dish.
We will simply marinate the meat in spices: mix cloves, crumbled bay leaves, salt and ground pepper, grate the ham well, place it under the load and leave for three hours. Then we wash, dry and wrap in parchment. Soak a pound of rye bread in water, mix it with flour, taken in such quantity that a sufficiently dense dough is obtained. We distribute half of it on a baking sheet and put a bundle with ham, the second half we wrap it on top.
We keep pork ham in the oven for three hours. Because of such a cunning preparation, it turns out to be surprisingly gentle. The most delicious pork will be with sour cream sauce with horseradish.

Very tasty, very elegant, very appetizing. The only condition: pork is bought in smoked form. For the glaze, mix half a glass of orange marmalade (necessarily bitter), a quarter cup of honey, a spoonful of Dijon mustard and three tablespoons of brandy or dark rum. We cut the ham for beauty with rhombuses, put it on the wire rack, and pour a couple of glasses of water in the baking sheet under it. Lubricate the pork and set to bake. Water the ham with juices every 20 minutes. It will be prepared from one and a half to two hours. Before cutting, let the dish rest for about ten minutes.
Home-made boiled pork
Among the recipes of pork ham in the oven, this is especially popular. And well deserved, because the meat is very tasty. We chop the chunk with halves of garlic, grease the mustard marinade with vegetable oil (in a ratio of 3 to 4), paprika, salt, pepper, other spices and remove for two hours in the cold. Bake pork ham in the oven, in foil, for about an hour and a half. To get a blush 15 minutes before removing the boiled pork from the oven, open the package. When it is ready, cool and put it in the refrigerator until tomorrow: it is customary to eat this dish cold.
Wonderful dinner
And now we add potato ham pork baked in the oven. The recipe is simple to execute, and the result will delight everyone you wish to treat with this dish. It is recommended to use laurel, basil, a mixture of different peppers, mint, coriander, marjoram, thyme, thyme, oregano as seasonings - choose the ones you like best.
This time, we cut the meat in portioned, medium-sized pieces and lay it out on a baking sheet lined with foil. Peel and cut the potatoes, but not in small strips, but in slices. Add garlic plates and onion half rings to the workpiece, sprinkle everything with seasonings, wrap in foil and put in the oven, heated to 180 degrees. Depending on the amount of ingredients, dinner will be ready in an hour, a maximum of one and a half.
Roll
Another of the people’s favorite recipes. Pork ham in the oven in the form of a roll conquers children and adults, and beautiful ladies, and representatives of the strong half of humanity. For our purposes, you need a rather thin piece. If the cut is thick, it will have to be cut into plates.
We beat the pork carefully, but without enthusiasm, so as not to make a hole. We combine soy and Worcester sauces with vegetable oil and crushed garlic, coat the inside of the formation with a mixture and twist it tightly, simultaneously coating the second side with coating. We tightly knit the roll with culinary thread, tightly wrap it with foil (preferably in two layers), pierce it in a couple of places with a toothpick and bake for an hour and a half. You shouldn’t get it straight away right away: the pork “ham” baked in the oven should cool right in it. The roll is usually served in the form of slices; the best "companions" for him are vegetables - fresh, in the form of a salad, stewed or fried, pickles in a similar cut.
Ham and pineapple
Finally - a truly aristocratic recipe for pork ham in the oven in foil. And first we make the marinade, for which we dissolve six tablespoons of coarse salt and two cane brown sugar in three liters of fresh pure water. We lay a spoonful of allspice peas, a sprig of sage, two tablespoons of dried rosemary and boil for 3 to 5 minutes. When the brine has cooled, put a two-kilogram cut into it and put the pan in the refrigerator for a day. Then we stuff the ham with garlic slices, draw a net on top (for greater appetite), insert the clove buds at the intersections and pull the ham with twine.
Forgive the baking sheet with a double layer of foil, place the pork on it and cover it with canned pineapple rings. Top with two tablespoons of soy sauce, wrap the foil tightly and bake for a third of an hour at 180 degrees. Then we lower the temperature to 160 and cook another hour and 40 minutes. Pour the juices from the ham into a stewpan, add half a glass of dry red wine and sage leaves to them. This sauce is served with meat.
Tricks of seasoned culinary specialists
Whatever recipe you use to bake pork ham in the oven, it’s worth it to marinate it a little. Do not want to get too spicy meat, soak it in milk. True, it will take a long time to stand pork in it, at least a night. But, they say, it even becomes less greasy, and even a dieted guest can feast on ham on a holiday.
Pickled pork in mustard faster. And to leave the taste soft, buy its sweet variety.
Finally, we remind you: if your meat is frozen, it should be thawed only naturally. That is, at the bottom of the refrigerator, and then at room temperature. Haste in this matter will spoil even the most elegant dish.
