Baron de Ley Club Privado Reserva Rioja

The Baron de Ley winery was founded by a prestigious group of Rioja professionals in 1985. They were quite unique in their approach as they modelled the winery on a Medoc chateaux, which was a pioneering move at that time for producers in the Denominacion de Origen Calificada Rioja. This wine is aged in new oak casks for 20 months prior to resting in the bottle for 2 years before release. It has definite claret qualities; the nose is layered with ripe cherry, toasty oak and a touch of cigar box. Lively, ripe, red fruit with dried tobacco and nutty vanilla overtones, round tannins with an expressive woody finish. Rioja wine can be excellent value for money and has terrific cellaring potential. Buy this wine if you like: Well rounded reds, with soft fruit and toasty character, easy drinking for upfront pleasure.

Description

This is a lovely warming dish from my Mum, the smell of which would greet us as we came in from an hour's trip on a freezing school coach! Really worth trying and so easy! Enjoy!

Method

  1. 1

    Slice and peel potatoes and onions and thinly slice cabbage. Layer into a large ovenproof dish, seasoning between each layer.

    Place the ham joint on top of the vegetables and pour apple juice over.

    Mix honey, coriander and mustard and spread evenly over the ham joint.

    Cover and cook at 170 C (Fan 160C)for 2 1/2 hours. Then remove lid and cook for an additional 30 minutes.

Chef's Tips

We use an Oyster Joint which is a cheaper ham joint. Delicious and very cheap. It means that the whole thing shouldn't cost more than ยฃ6-ยฃ7 making it really good value.

If you need to you can thicken the juice with a little cornflour and water, but we've never needed to.

The "Sauce" is quite sweet and we have used dry cider on occasions to make it less sweet but I love the fact that, apart from the ham, I'm likely to have most of the ingredients in the house already.
