Ingredients
1 piece of ham (250 g / 8.8 oz)
50 ml brandy
100 ml mayonnaise
100 ml heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 red onion, sliced
6 cloves garlic
Directions
- Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the piece of ham. Place the ham in a skillet or frying pan with the oiled side facing down.
- Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the ham. Cook over medium heat until the bottom is lightly browned.
- Flip the ham and cook the other side over medium heat until it is also lightly browned. Transfer the ham to a cutting board and set aside.
- In the same pan used to cook the ham, add the brandy and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a spatula.
- As soon as the brandy comes to a boil, return the ham to the pan and cook until all the liquid has been absorbed by the ham.
- Cut the ham into medium-sized pieces and place them in a food processor. Add the sliced red onion and the garlic cloves after soaking them in boiling water.
- Add the heavy cream and mayonnaise, then process until the pâté reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve the ham pâté however you like, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
