What it is
A traditional celebratory dish featuring a whole or large cut of bone-in pork ham (or leg) slow-roasted in the oven until tender and juicy, often seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic. The rich flavor of the pork is highlighted. Served hot, traditionally with sides that would need to be substituted for keto (e.g., roasted cauliflower or sautéed greens instead of potatoes).
Key ingredients
Bone-in pork ham/leg, salt, black pepper, garlic, bay leaves (optional), lard or olive oil for roasting.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades, glazes, or rubs are used. Request a keto-friendly side like roasted cauliflower, sautéed spinach, or green beans instead of traditional potato or root vegetable accompaniments.
Watch out for
Some glazes or spice rubs might contain sugar. Traditional potato or carrot sides are common.
