Servings3 people

Prep Time15 minutes

Cook Time15 minutes

Passive Time2 hours

Ingredients

900gram pork hamfresh, without bone - one piece
35gram lardalternatively: coconut oil or heatable olive oil

Seasonings

2teaspoon(s) Salt
2teaspoon(s) Pepper
2teaspoon(s) Paprika
3teaspoon(s) Thymedried
2teaspoon(s) Rosemarydried
2teaspoon(s) Marjoramdried
1teaspoon(s) Corianderdried
1teaspoon(s) Cumindried
0.5teaspoon(s) Garlic powder
0.5teaspoon(s) Cayenne pepperor other chili powder (optional)

Instructions

First, put the piece of pork ham into the freezer for 1.5 to 2 hours. You want it to be frozen, but still cuttable. This makes the next step very easy
When the meat is stiff, take it out of the freezer and cut it into thin slices
After that, put the sliced meat into a big bowl & add all seasonings. Just spread them on top of the meat
Now, melt the lard or coconut oil in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. If you are using heatable olive oil you don't need to melt it, of course. Then, pour the fat onto the meat and immediately start to mix everything thoroughly
Afterwards, let the seasoned meat stand for about 10-15 minutes to give it a chance to soak in some seasoning. The longer you let it stand the better
Next, preheat a pan (with your preferred fat for frying) to low-medium heat. Add the meat and let it fry for about 5-10 minutes with a lid on
Finally, remove the lid and fry for another 5-10 minutes while stirring occasionally until you have some crispy bits and roasting flavors (browned meat). Take care that you don't fry it for too long as fresh pork ham is pretty tender and can dry out fast

Recipe Notes

To make it even better, you may prepare & marinade the meat in the morning or one day in advance and let it soak in the seasonings for a longer period of time. Simply let it stand for 1-2 hours or longer instead of 10-15 minutes. If you prepare it a day in advance, put the bowl into your fridge and cover it with cling film.

The seasonings are amazing for marinading pork chops or spice up some ground beef, too.
In addition, you could use pork loin instead of ham or try it with other cuts.

Serve with any keto friendly side dish you like, e.g. salad, fried / baked vegetables, some eggs or simply a low carb condiment.

Asparagus Cream Sauce

This asparagus cream sauce is a clever way to reuse the stringy parts from your recently cooked green asparagus. Works with the skin of white asparagus as well. Stop wasting the nutritious asparagus leftovers, because most of the healthy stuff is directly under the skin.

CourseSauce, Side Dish
Keywordasparagus, butter, cream, heavy cream

Prep Time1 minute

Cook Time20 minutes

Ingredients

50gram lard
75gram green asparagusstringy parts - leftovers from cutting / skin from white asparagus
15gram butter
300milliliter water
250gram cream

Seasonings

Instructions

Preheat a pan with the lard to medium heat and add the asparagus parts. Let them fry for about 5 minutes before adding the butter
Now, add the water and cook everything for another 5-10 minutes
Take out the asparagus parts with a slotted ladle and add the cream plus seasonings
Finally, let everything simmer for 5-10 more minutes while stiring occasionally, until it is reduced to a sauce with your desired thickness

Recipe Notes

This sauce goes very well with the chicken heart tuna meatballs which I made simultaneously.

Of course, you could also simply use it to go with your asparagus or other types of vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower or mushrooms.
