The julienne cut of this ham means it is ready to use right out of the package. It can be added directly to hot dishes during the last few minutes of cooking to warm through, or it can be incorporated into cold preparations like salads. Its thin strips distribute evenly, ensuring consistent flavor in every bite. For a quick meal, sauté it briefly with vegetables or add it to a quick pasta sauce. It also works well as a topping for baked potatoes or as a component in a quick sandwich filling.
How it differs from similar foods
