Step-by-step

Smoked ham

Remove the ham from the packaging
but keep it in the net.
Rinse the ham in cold water.
Insert thermometer into the ham
and place it on the grate in the smoking oven.
(It is important to use a thermometer that
you can read without opening the smoking oven.
Opening the oven will release smoke causing it
to not reach its full potential.)
Lay smoking chips on the included tray.
Start the smoking oven and set it to max
until it has reached 110–120 degrees.
Then reduce the heat, maintaining 110–120 degrees
throughout the cooking process. Smoke the ham until
the inner temperature reaches 71 degrees.
Remove the ham and wrap in foil.
The ham is ready to serve: You can also fry it covered
in egg and breadcrumbs if you wish.

Wort-spiced flatbread

Mix dry ingredients.
Warm the milk and water until lukewarm.
Add liquids to dry ingredients
and mix. Knead for about 5 minutes into a dough.
Add more flour if necessary.
Knead into a smooth dough that is not sticky.
Sprinkle with a little flour, cover with a towel and
leave to rise for approx. 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 7 pieces.
Roll into balls, cover, and allow to rise while you
make the creamed kale.
When you have made the kale, gently flatten the dough balls into
approx. 1/2 cm thick patties and place them on the warm and
dry edge of the griddle pan.
Increase the heat on the outer ring, keeping an eye on the bread
to prevent it from burning. Cook on each side for approx. 5 min.
Remove the bread and add the sliced apple
on the edge of the hob for a few minutes.
Spread a layer of mustard on the bottom of the bread (if desired),
then add the creamed kale, a few slices of the smoked ham and top
with cooked apple and pomegranate seeds.

Creamed kale

Remove the kale leaves from the stem and
chop into smaller pieces (or buy pre-chopped).
Heat the griddle pan using both gas rings.
Add the butter and kale and fry
for a few minutes until softened.
Pour in most of the cream and simmer.
Season with salt and cover for a few minutes.
If necessary, add more cream.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer the kale.
