Method

Preparation of the Ham

  1. 1

    Brining the Ham

    In a large bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the mixture all over the fresh ham ensuring it is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Setting the Ham

    Place the coated ham in a large zip-top bag or container, and pour in the water. Seal or cover the container, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours.

Cooking the Ham

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).

  2. 4

    Bake the Ham

    Remove the ham from the brine, pat it dry with paper towels, and place it on a roasting rack in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).

  3. 5

    Resting the Ham

    Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes before shaving.

Serving the Shaved Ham

  1. 6

    Shaving the Ham

    Using a sharp knife or meat slicer, shave the ham into thin slices.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the baguette, spread Dijon mustard on one side, and layer shaved ham, pickles, and fresh arugula. Close the sandwich and serve.
