Recipes - Beef Pork Lamb

Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients

One 3 to 4 pound fully cooked smoked ham
1/2 cup + 1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon Tampico’s mustard flour
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup Tampico’s Pecans, chopped 
1/4 teaspoon Tampico’s ground cloves

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Take the smoked ham straight from the refrigerator and place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Add 1/2 cup of water and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, leaving the thermometer dial exposed. Place the ham in a 325 degree F oven and bake for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the dry mustard into 1 teaspoon of water and then combine with apricot preserves, pecans and ground cloves. Remove ham from oven, remove the aluminum foil, and spread the glaze mixture over the ham. Return to oven (uncovered) and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the thermometer registers 135 degrees per pound. When finished roasting, allow the ham to stand covered for 10 minutes before carving.

Serves 6
Ingredients

One 4-1/2 pound leg of lamb
3 Tampico’s whole cloves
3 fresh garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
Sea salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Tampico’s ground black pepper
1/4 cup Tampico’s dried rosemary leaves

Directions

Trim the excess fat from the meat, but leave a thin layer. Make 1-inch slits all over the meat, and insert a slice of garlic into each slit. Rub meat with a liberal coating of olive oil and than coat heavily with sea salt. Add lemon juice and ground black pepper. Wrap securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours (the longer the better).

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Heat an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the meat. Remove the lamb to a platter, and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover the bottom of the pan with rosemary. Place the lamb on top and cover the lamb with more rosemary. Place in the oven for 20 minutes and then reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Roast 40 minutes longer or until done. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve.
