EMBEDDED GAMMON

Versão em Português

If spicy, the pork is hugely tasty. Is there something greater than come together all the family in the weekend and remove from oven a gammon full of flavors, moist, surrounded by potatoes and onions? If you don't want to use gammon, choose a good beef cut to roast, following the entire recipe.
