Best Ham Steaks With Curry Sauce Jambon Le Tout Paris Recipes
JAMBON BRAISE AU MADERE (BRAISED HAM W/MADEIRA SAUCE - FRANCE)
This recipe from *The Best Ever French Cooking Course* cookbook by Carole Clements & Elizabeth Wolf-Cohen really impressed me as an easy way to turn an ordinary ham steak into something extraordinary & definitely company-worthy. Per the intro, "The Morvan district of Burgundy is known for producing fine quality, mild cured hams. Accompanied by this rich Madeira sauce, a simple ham steak is transformed into an elegant dish." Served w/the sauce & a simple side of creamy mashed potatoes, the pic had me drooling as I typed ... but be sure to read my note at the end of the prep. *Enjoy* !

- *Notes* ~ This is where I often go astray w/a recipe - a point where I begin to think about a better (or easier) way to do something or a way I pers prefer. *For example* ~ 1) The recipe said to strain the sauce at the end of Prep Step 3, but I deleted that as I rarely see it as beneficial & certainly not w/this recipe as the sauce has no food solids other than finely minced shallots -- 2) I esp like that this sauce can be made ahead & rewarmed to serve, but I'd be more than reluctant to walk away from the lovely pan drippings from cooking the ham steaks -- so I'd be inclined to rewarm the sauce in that same pan to add to the rich flavor of the sauce b4 serving.
