How to make Ham Persillade with Mustard Potato Salad and Mashed Peas

Chop enough parsley leaves to measure 1 tablespoon ; reserve. Chop remaining leaves and stems and simmer with broth and garlic in a small saucepan, covered, 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over water in a medium bowl and let soften 1 minute. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into bowl with gelatin and stir to dissolve. Season with salt and pepper. Set bowl in an ice bath and cool to room temperature, stirring.

Toss ham with reserved parsley and divide among jars. Pour gelatin on top and chill until set, at least 1 hour.

Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Stir in celery, cornichons, and potatoes.

Pulse peas with marjoram, oil, 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and 1/4 teaspoons salt in a food processor to a coarse mash.

Layer peas, then potato salad, over ham.
