Ingredients

2 sourdough baguettes (about 500gm each), ends trimmed, cut into 15cm lengths

12 thin slices Emmenthal

Cider-glazed ham

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

200 gm brown sugar

75 ml dry apple cider

1 tsp Dijon mustard, plus extra, to serve

1.5 kg piece honey-smoked pork leg or shoulder

Cabbage, basil and apple salad

500 gm (about ½ small) white cabbage, shredded

1 cup thinly sliced basil

1 pink lady apple, peeled and cut into matchsticks

300 gm aïoli (1 cup)

1 tbsp seeded mustard

3 golden shallots, finely chopped

To taste: lemon juice

Method

1.For cider-glazed ham, combine apple cider vinegar, sugar and apple cider with mustard in a large bowl, then add ham, turn to coat and refrigerate 1-2 hours to marinate.

2.Preheat oven to 220C. Line a roasting pan with foil (this stops the glaze crusting on the pan) and place ham on top, pour marinade over and roast, basting occasionally, until ham is golden and glazed (30-40 minutes). Set aside to rest (10 minutes), keeping warm, then carve.

3.For cabbage, basil and apple salad, toss ingredients in a bowl and season to taste.

4.Split baguette pieces down the centre, arrange sliced ham on the bases, then Emmenthal, top with cabbage salad and sandwich with baguette tops. Serve with Dijon mustard on the side.
