Best Answer

Cut off the white rind and serve cut on crackers or serve melted on toasted bread from oven. Great taste

Another answerKeep the white rind on. That rind is actually a mold that is safe to eat and full of flavor. Serve as suggested above.

Proscuitto means 'ham' in Italian; the word is derived from the Italian 'to dry out'.

The term proscuitto crudo is applied a dry-cured ham, seasoned, cured and air-dried, which needs no cooking. Proscuitto cotto is cooked ham.

Either type of proscuitto may be used in hot dishes, but heating it is only incidental to the preparation of the dish.

Proscuitto is usually served thinly sliced and cold, with fruit or antipasto. It is also used in any way you'd normally use ham, and is delicious with pasta, either as part of a hot sauce, with or without cream, or simply shredded and tossed through hot pasta with a little butter or olive oil and shaved or grated Parmesan, and a little ground black pepper, not too coarse.

The flavour is strong, so not much proscuitto is needed served in this way, which makes a very fast and economical dish, and looks impressive topped with a little chopped parsley. The only work you've done is cook the pasta and shred the ham: perfection in seconds.

You can also serve proscuitto similarly with pasta, tossing with crushed garlic and good olive oil, with a pinch of chilli flakes. Again, top with parsley, but not with cheese.

You usually don't. Prosciutto is generally sliced very thin and served as is. Think of it more as a deli meat.

How do you cook a smoked ham in a crock pot?

The best way to cook smoked ham in a crock pot is to pour water, about 1" to 2" deep, in the crock pot, then place the ham in the pot. It depends on whether your ham is sliced or whole as to how long you should cook it. For sliced ham, you can cook it 4 to 6 hours; for whole ham, cook it 6 to 8 hours. Note: Adding kale, cabbage or green beans really makes for a savory meal.


Which is better taste with cheese and ham fig or date?

Perform a blind taste test. With my experience, figs are not as overpowering in sweetness as dates. Figs have a delicate texture and slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with salty foods such as cheese and ham. As for the ham, I would not use sandwich meat ham or even regular baked ham. They are much too salty and packed with too much water. Instead, I recommend Italian ham, proscuitto, for its smoked aroma and delicate exterior. Its savory flavor enhances the flavor of fig. To make this combination even better, wrap a sliced fig with a slice of proscuitto and sear with olive oil. You will get the crunchy, sweet, salty, and moist combination. Enjoy!
