Preheat oven to 350°. Sauté the vegetables in butter or margarine and oil for about 10 minutes in a roasting pan or casserole, until they are very lightly browned. Add parsley, bay leaf and thyme. Place ham over vegetables, fat side up; add broth and wine and bring to simmer on top of stove. Cover and place roaster or casserole in middle of preheated oven. Regulate heat so that liquid barely simmers for about 1 1/2 hours. Baste frequently with juices in pan.
