Modo de preparo

1. Prepare the ham: Place the ham in a small baking dish, rub all over with butter, insert the cloves, and drizzle with orange juice. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated hot oven (220 °C / 425 °F) for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until golden.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, or until soft. Season with salt, add the sun-dried tomatoes, and cook briefly. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, combine garlic, lemon juice, mustard, yogurt, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Remove the ham from the oven, slice, garnish with the mushroom and tomato mixture, and serve with the sauce on the side.
