Can you cook Parma Ham?????? (quick replies needed)

[mosschops30]

Couldnt get any pancetta so came home with parma ham, can I fry it in the same way?

[motheroftwoboys]

Another one for next time - if you have a local Tesco they do brilliant packs of bacon chunks for £1. I use in pasta sauces or quiche. Pre-fry with the onions etc then all the fat will go.

Tip for next time - you can use streaky bacon in place of pancetta.

[ChampagneDahling]

yeh it will be fine but if you are going to fry it do it real quick....enjoy

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

It will be fine.

[mosschops30]

its only to go in chopped in pasta. I dont like the pancetta cubes, too fatty so I always buy slices.

So will it be ok or not? I have no time to go back to shop to change for bacon

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

It's less salt in taste so you may need to adjust that.

What are you making?

Parma ham is so expensive it seems a bit of a waste - if you happen to have bacon use that instead.

[mileniwmffalcon]

would be a waste imho - can you get bacon instead? can put p ham on pizza, or wrap around chicken or salmon to roast, but to use in place of pancetta in the kind of recipes it tends to go in, no , i wouldn't.

[muggglewump]

Yes but it's so thin it will burn quickly.

Was it pancetta cubes you needed?

[SybilFaulty]

yes but will need seconds only

[snigger]

It'll cook, but be REALLY careful it doesn't burn as it's so thin.

What's the recipe?
