Ingredients

Pasta

  • 250 g of fresh pasta
  • 200 g of shredded braised ham (see recipe below)
  • 200 g of sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp. of old-fashioned mustard
  • 20 ml of 35% cream
  • 1 small chopped onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Butter or olive oil
  • Grated Parmesan
  • Black pepper, fresh thyme

Pulled Ham, Beer, Baseball Mustard & Sriracha Firebarns

  • 1 kg picnic-style ham with bone
  • 473 ml of blonde or amber beer
  • 2 tbsp. of old-fashioned mustard
  • 2 tbsp. Firebarns Baseball Mustard
  • 2 tbsp. Firebarns Sriracha Sauce
  • Freshly ground pepper, generously

Preparation

Pasta

  1. Sauté the onion and garlic in a little butter. Add the mushrooms and let them brown.
  2. Incorporate the shredded braised ham.
  3. Deglaze with a little pasta cooking water or a splash of white wine.
  4. Add the Baseball Mustard, cream, pepper and thyme. Simmer over low heat.
  5. Grate parmesan cheese into the sauce and stir.
  6. Stir the cooked al dente pasta into the sauce. Mix well.

Shredded ham

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Place the ham in a casserole dish or ovenproof pot with a lid. Add a sliced onion and garlic around the ham.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the beer, both mustards, Sriracha and a good turn of the pepper mill.
  4. Cover the ham with the mixture. Cover tightly with a lid (or aluminum foil if no lid is available).
  5. Cook for 5 hours at 300°F, basting once or twice if possible.
  6. Remove from the oven, transfer the ham to a board and shred the meat with a fork, removing any bits of fat and bones. Return it to the sauce to soak it up even more.
