Cookbook:Ham Sauce (Modern)

Ham sauce (in Italian, Salsa di Prosciutto) is a relatively quick and simple sauce used to coat pasta or served over rice. It should not be confused for a glaze for baked ham—rather, it is a sauce on its own that incorporates ham.

Ingredients

 * 3–4 oz ham or prosciutto, cut into strips
 * 1 tsp tomato purée
 * 1 oz butter
 * 2 cups vegetable or meat stock

Procedure

 * 1) Melt butter in small saucepan, and gently sauté the strips of meat.
 * 2) Stir in tomato purée.
 * 3) Add stock and simmer for about 5 minutes.
 * 4) Serve over rice or toss with pasta.
