Recipe
Njeguški pršut
Dry-cured ham served with cheese and bread.
Ingredients
- Thin sliced pršut
- Local cheese
- Olives
- Figs
- Bread
- Olive oil
How to make it
- Bring pršut to room temperature. Prepare this first and keep the heat moderate; rushing the first stage usually gives uneven texture later.
- Slice cheese and bread. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
- Arrange ham loosely on a board. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
- Serve with olives, figs and a little olive oil. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
Serving note
Keep the plate simple and let the main texture lead: crisp pastry, tender stew, glossy sauce or fresh garnish. This page is a compact cooking guide, not a long article.
