Elena ham is a famous delicacy that is prepared in the town of Elena. It is interesting that it is made only there, because it becomes the most delicious. Opinions are already intertwined here, whether it is a matter of a recipe that the locals hide so well that it has never left the Elena Balkan, or it is because of the air in the city, and perhaps most logical of all, most dishes and delicacies require craftsmanship.
There are similar delicacies of venison leg in the world - in Italy it is prosciutto. The people in the city of Elena are very sincere and will be happy to tell you what the technology is and what you need to prepare this delicacy, they will explain the exact recipe without missing anything.
But at the end of the preparation and after waiting for the right time, you will make sure that again there is something that is missing on your thigh and despite your great diligence, it is not like the deer. And if you return to the small town of Elena and ask people "why" their answer will be - it's a matter of craftsmanship, tradition is the result of the unique microclimate of the area.
Here's how to prepare venison ham - you need a fresh ham from a freshly slaughtered pig, there should be no bristles on it. The ham is placed pre-salted in a "stand" - this is a vessel that resembles a barrel. The meat is left to stand for about 45 days, after which it is removed and allowed to dry. However, before hanging it, it is necessary to wash it with cabbage soup while it is hot.
If you are wondering how to store meat, there are many ways. It is placed in a specially sewn bag, preferably made of cheesecloth. Some people keep it in wooden containers that have bars instead of walls, but very small so that various insects cannot lay eggs on the delicious appetizer. It is left in a ventilated place, where the fresh mountain wind will be able to dry the meat and turn it into the best delicacy produced in the Elena Balkan.
Once ready, the ham is cut into pieces, which in turn are rolled into various spices. Already kneaded with different smells, the ham should be cut into thin slices. It is then served at the table with red wine - and the best part begins - the meal. Seasoned with different smells, the meat becomes much tastier and can be eaten for a longer time.
Elena's thigh already has its own holiday - October 27, and this year - 2012, was the first to be celebrated. Locals hope they have started another tradition, celebrating 27 as a day of delicious meat.
