Servings: 1

Ingredients

900 g unsmoked ham shank

enough water to cover

1 onion (peeled and halved)

1 celery stalk (roughly chopped)

2 bay leaves

10 pepper corns

whole cloves

Glaze

1 tbsp runny honey

1 tbsp English mustard

1 handful cloves

Steps

STEP 1

Place all the ingredients except the honey, mustard, and cloves in a very large casserole dish. Place on the base of the oven and cook on HIGH MICROWAVE for 15 mins then MEDIUM MICROWAVE for 15- 20 mins per 450g. Drain and set aside to cool for 15 mins.

STEP 2

Mix the honey and mustard together.

STEP 3

Use a small knife to remove the rind from the ham shank, leaving as much of the fat intact as possible. Score the fat in a diamond pattern, and push a clove into the centre of each X. Brush over half of the glaze.

STEP 4

Preheat the oven on CONVECTION 180°C + GRILL 1, cook for 10-15 mins. Spread over the remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
