Ingredients

- 1 slice of pork ham with rind (approximately 1.5 kg)
- 250 g smoked bacon
- 250 g meat from a smoked hock
- 400 g smoked sausages
- 3 tablespoons of oil
- 1 glass (approximately 200 ml) of red wine
- Vegeta (or a spice mix of your choice)
- Freshly ground pepper
- Dried thyme

Preparing the combined roast

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by preparing all the ingredients. Cut the pork ham into suitable pieces, making sure to keep the rind, which will add a crunchy texture and intense flavor. Remove the bone from the center of the ham if necessary.

The meat from the smoked hock is cut into suitable strips, while the bacon will be cut into thicker slices. The smoked sausages, ideally homemade for an authentic taste, are cut into pieces of about 3-4 cm.

Step 2: Arranging in the tray
In a tall tray, add the 3 tablespoons of oil. Arrange all the pieces of meat, including the sausages, in the tray. This is the perfect time to play with flavors: sprinkle vegeta, pepper, and thyme over the meat. These spices will transform the roast into a true delicacy.

Step 3: Adding water
Pour water into the tray, just enough to cover the meat lightly. This will be an essential step to keep the meat juicy during baking. Cover the tray with aluminum foil to prevent the meat from drying out.

Step 4: Baking
Place the tray in the preheated oven at 180°C and let it bake for at least an hour. During this time, it is good to turn the pieces of meat from time to time to ensure they cook evenly and absorb all the flavors.

Step 5: Adding wine
After the water has evaporated, it’s time to add the red wine. This will enrich the flavor of the roast and give it a refined note. Turn the pieces of meat again and baste them with the sauce formed in the tray.

Step 6: Finalizing
Leave the roast in the oven for another 20-30 minutes, uncovered, until the meat becomes golden brown and appetizing. When you notice that the sauce has reduced and the meat is beautifully browned, it is ready!

Serving and suggestions

The combined roast is usually served with various side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, polenta, or grilled vegetables. Also, don’t forget about assorted pickles, which add a delicious contrast and a note of freshness.

Personal suggestion: Add a touch of freshness by serving a green salad with lemon and olive oil alongside the roast. This will balance the rich flavors of the meat.

Nutritional benefits

This combined roast is an excellent source of protein and fats, providing energy and essential nutrients. The ham and smoked meat are rich in B vitamins, which contribute to the health of the nervous system and energy metabolism. Additionally, spices like thyme have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Possible variations

If you want to experiment, you can add other types of meat, such as chicken or turkey, to diversify the flavor of the roast. You can also replace the red wine with white for a lighter note.
