Method
For the bread dough
- Combine all ingredients in the electric mixer bowl. Knead until the batter is smooth and no longer sticks to the bowl.
- Pour the batter into a lightly floured dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
For the ham
- Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.
- Rub the ham with the Tandoori spice mix, then stuff with garlic cloves.
- Dust your work surface with flour. Spread the batter out over a large square. Place the ham in the middle, bone-side up, and cover it with herbs. Fold over a flap of the batter towards the bone, covering up the ham’s rounded side. Then fold over the other flap to cover the entire ham.
- Reduce the heat to 180°C / 350°F. Slide in the ham and cook it for at least 4 hours.
For the carrot puree
- Steam the carrots, purée them, then strain them.
- Prepare a syrup with the sugar and water. Crystallize the zest of all citrus fruits. Finely chop the zest.
- Mix the zest with the carrot purée and add butter.
- Salt and sprinkle with Espelette chilli pepper.
For the juice
- Let the cilantro infuse in the pork juice.
Serving
- Place the entire ham on a serving platter. Cut it into large slices and serve with the carrot purée.
