Instructions

  1. Cook the ham right through in water, remove the skin and take off the excess fat.
  2. If serving it whole, surround it with braised sauerkraut and freshly cooked potatoes à l'anglaise.
  3. If serving it carved, dish the slices in a turban with the sauerkraut in the middle and the potatoes around.
  4. In either case serve a Sauce Demi-glace with Rhine wine separately.
