Tips and advices

To impart a smoky flavour to this dish, grill the ham on the barbecue using a plank of wood intended for the purpose. Grilling planks can be found in some supermarkets, hardware stores, fish shops, etc., and are made of untreated wood (no stains or chemical products). It is important to soak the plank for at least an hour so that it will provide the moisture necessary for cooking. Lastly, sauté the red pepper in a skillet with butter, as indicated.

Serve with asparagus spears and mashed potato.
