300g bread flour (type 55 if available)
One sachet dried yeast
4 eggs
25g pitted black olives
25g pitted green olives
200g Bayonne Ham
One small pot plain yogurt

Cut the Bayonne Ham very thinly into small pieces.
Put the flour into a mixing bowl, make a well in the top and tip in the oil, the salt, the yogurt and the activated yeast. Blend it with a mixer fitted with dough hooks for 10 minutes, incorporating the flour gradually.

Ingredients for four people:

  • Bayonne Ham cut as chiffonnade*
  • Bread
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic – Tomatoes
  • Espelette pepper (in powder form)

*chiffonade Bayonne Ham is sliced very finely so as to be nearly transparent and presented in crumpled curves to look like pieces of fine cloth (chiffon).


Preparation:

Ask your charcutier to cut a good quantity of Bayonne Ham chiffonnade. With an apéritif, it will delight your guests. A chiffonnade of Bayonne Ham is also an excellent entrée, served either on its own or with a salad, tomatoes or melon. For a more elaborate presentation, toast some bread.

Rub each slice with a clove of garlic, then with a half tomato, so as to transfer some of the tomato flesh. Drizzle lightly with oil, then sprinkle a very light pinch of Espelette pepper. To complete the dish, lay some chiffonade of Bayonne Ham on the slices and taste it that way: it is excellent and has a very fresh taste.

A simple slice of Bayonne Ham!

Ingrédients :

  • One slice of Bayonne Ham per person
  • Steamed potatoes
  • Eggs, butter
  • White wine

Method:Slice the Bayonne Ham, put it into a frying pan with a little butter and fry it gently on both sides, turning it to colour up evenly.

Lay it out on a plate and put a little white wine in the hot pan: turn up the heat and let the wine soak up the cooking juices (deglazing) as it boils, to make a delicious sauce. You can also fry some eggs in a separate frying pan. Their taste is a very good match for Bayonne Ham.

Served with steamed potatoes, fried in a little butter to brown them, this traditional peasant recipe from South West France will delight last minute guests. And as everyone knows, a good slice of Bayonne Ham is good to eat on its own, served on a simple piece of bread: a treat worthy of a king!
