Chicken and pork ham at home - tips and tricks
• Ham is very fond of spicy. But besides pepper, mustard can also be added to it. Just one spoon added to the minced meat will make it much more flavorful and delicious.
• Home-made sausages are never cooked from fresh meat; chunks should be well cooled. And if you need to cook chopped mass, it is better to freeze a little. It will be easier to cut, and the pieces will be more accurate.
• After cooking or baking ham in the bag (or in the form, in foil), aromatic juice remains. In no case do not pour it! This liquid can be added to any sauce or to the first, second dish. You can simply pour it into molds and put it in the freezer. Natural bouillon cubes will certainly find application!
• Chicken skin should not be thrown away. It is quite oily and gives the ham juiciness, but before laying the skin you need to chop it well.
