Virginia Ham Tarts

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:45:04 -0400

This is a lovely canape for parties, great to take to a potluck. I always use 'country' ham, but use your favorite ham! This will be much easier if you have 4 miniature muffin tins. I don't remember where this came from, but I've had it saved for awhile. -- posted by alligirl

Farmhouse Ham, Cheese and Sauerkraut Sandwiches

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:18:56 -0400

This one screams old-timey, German, "down-home," and "comfort food" all at once! Sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time, covered & chilled. At meal-time, bake as directed. Thanks to *Midwest Living* for this awesome recipe and the excellent alternatives featuring midwest-region crops. -- posted by Debber

Pot Liquor (Likker) Soup

This is as Southern as it gets. But the recipe is made quicker by using canned products and prepackaged greens. For New Years, substitute black-eyed peas, and you'll have your green and peas tradition! Serve with nice thick slices of cornbread. -- posted by breezermom

Ham and Dill Pickle Spread

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:29:59 -0400

Dill makes the difference! This ham salad spread with dill pickle is great for tea sandwiches, larger sandwiches, or as a snack when spread on crackers. It's best with deli ham that is "cooked" or "baked" rather than honey or smoked ham. And it's easy as can be! -- posted by Chef #386447

Ham and Pesto Panini

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:44:19 -0400

This is what I created with leftover basil pesto, Italian bread, some Parmesan, ham and Mozzarella... Let me just say, there were no leftovers of this! Wow, melted cheese, pesto, olive oil...so good. If your pesto is oily you won't need the extra olive oil and also if you make your pesto with lots of Parmesan you may not need the additional cheese. My pesto is a little dry with not that much Parmesan because I like to add it later. And, a good substitute for the ham would be turkey or chicken. -- posted by Trinkets

Tortellini and Ham

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:00:32 -0400

A quick any night dinner fix when you are short on time and don't know what to make - from June 2009 TOH's Simple and Delicious. CAN be adjusted to suit your tastes and what's in the fridge/pantry! Recipe calls for frozen peppr strips, thawed. I have never used those so I modified it to use fresh peppers quickly sauteed. **Also think red pepper flakes would be good in this - asparagus. Haven't made dish yet, will update as I do. -- posted by Mommy Diva

Frozen Baby Meal 6 of 6 (Ham & Potatoes)

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:51:02 -0400

This is one of six frozen baby meals I used to make for my son. A friend gave me the combination and with minimal preparation you save yourself time and money. All six are really pretty good and I've made them for myself in a pinch. I would either try to use leftover meat from other dishes I'd prepared or intentionally make extra to use for these meals. My son used to have a three-compartment baby tray with lid and I'd put one or two frozen cubes in the first slot, a little baby vegetable in the second slot and a little baby fruit in the last slot and he was set for lunch. I'd have his tray ready the night before or in the morning and by lunch the frozen cube(s) had almost thawed and just needed a little warming in the microwave. The serving sizes are difficult to determine since it is dependent on the age of the child. -- posted by Queen Puff

Fried Grit Cakes With Eggs and Tomato Gravy

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:29:11 -0400

This is a unique Southern version of Eggs Benedict. It is common where I live for restaurants to serve Shrimp Creole or other dishes on top of fried grit cakes instead of over rice or noodles. The recipe uses leftover grits, but you can make them just for the recipe! Feel free to liven up the grit cakes with additional seasoning! This version of eggs benedict has the eggs served over fried grit cakes with country ham and tomato gravy. -- posted by breezermom

Cream Cheese & Deviled Ham Dip / Spread With a Twist

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 03:06:13 -0400

This is a super recipe for a get together. There are other ham dips but the extra flavor with the wine, dry mustard, garlic, onion and pickle, yes, pickle make it an intense flavor. It isn't for everyone especially if you don't like wine. Try it at your next party or event. Pair with all different crackers or slather on french bread. Enjoy! ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH

Fancy Not Fried Rice

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:39:13 -0400

I came up with this when planning a dinner where I would be serving two types of roasted chicken that suggested serving with rice. My mother does not care for plain white rice, so I wanted to make something people would eat without adding tons of calories and fat. After looking at what I had on hand, I came up with this - was pretty darn good as is and even better when I topped with the orange sauce from ORANGE YOU GLAD YOU MADE THIS ROASTED CHICKEN? Recipe #211548 - also went great with CHINESE ROASTED CHICKEN Recipe #135753. I must credit Daisy Martinez for the rice - this was the best and the easiest I have ever made, I followed her recipe except she calls for 1½ tbsp salt which I did not use). I am looking forward to doing fun thing with the left overs. -- posted by Sandy in Dayton

This recipe uses a scone/damper dough for the bread, so no major kneading or waiting around for dough to rise. What you use to fill it is limited only by your imagination - pepperoni, ham, chicken, whatever takes your fancy!

Inspirational Goat's Cheese on Garlic Ciabatta Toast

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:18:49 -0400

Toasted goat's cheese on toast that has been spread with garlic paste.......and then served on mixed salad leaves - brilliant! I am hooked on Nigel Slater's new programme, "Simple Suppers", where he prepares and cooks food just the way I like it...........fresh, seasonal, unpretentious, flexible and hearty. This is one of Nigel's "Inspirational" recipes that was shown on his first programme. In the absence of ciabatta bread, I would be inclined to use any rustic bread........with lots of body!

Basil-Arugula Salad With Chicken & Prosciutto

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:53:42 -0400

This is a salad-ified version of a chicken pasta dish I had once at Cheesecake Factory. It is both hearty and light, and rich with complex flavors. The basil adds a pesto-like element to the ensemble, and the dijon in the dressing (modified from Mille® 's Dijon Paremsan Dressing, recipe #21008) brings out the peppery taste of the arugula. Because prosciutto is rather salty, be stingy with salt on this. The prosciutto should offer just the right amount. -- posted by SJBG

Croquetas De Jamon (Ham Croquettes)

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:13:39 -0400

This is the way my aunt used to make croquetas, with bechamel - an old family and personal favorite. If you don't know what croquetas are, they are deep-fried treats about the length of your thumb and twice as wide. Variations of croquetas are famous around the world, but this recipe is Spanish (although it would truly be Spanish made with Serrano ham, but that's not the way my aunt made it). I used to eat several as a meal but generally these are served as tapas (appetizers/light lunch). These are perfect to throw in the lunch box too! Also, please don't be intimidated by the long list of directions, because in the end this is pretty simple to make. This is a great make-ahead dish too. -- posted by DisasterInTheKitchen

Cider-Braised Pork Shoulder With Caramelized Onions

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:41:50 -0400

This is VERY good! Second time I had a large boneless Boston Butt from the Farmer's market. I inserted garlic slivers, scored the skin and then rubbed the meat with salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme, then refrigerated for about 5 hours and it was just as good! Have also added some chopped, peeled apples and it adds a nice dimension to the flavor. I usually add more garlic, and some carrots and celery. If you like it nice and juicy, use 2 cups of apple cider. Third time, I browned and did the onions and cider the night before and then fridged it over night. Next day, just slow cooked it.This is from Gourmet Magazine, Dec.2001. -- posted by Scoutie

This is a recipe that I found in Paula Deen's special magazine publication May/June 2009. It is the party issue. This recipe was inhaled by guests and family at our house.

The honey mustard mayo is a great undercurrent. Great for parties and gatherings like baby showers, showers, brunches, etc. Enjoy! ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH

Ham With Port-Raisin Sauce

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:32:38 -0400

This is a crock pot comfort food recipe for ham. The ham's braising liquid is transformed into a garnet sauce studded with raisins. Choose tawny or vintage port, as they are the driest types and make the best sauce. Try to get a "Cure 81" ham, which has been cured by a method that results in a more flavorful, less salty ham. If you can't use a Cure 81 ham, blanch the ham before cooking it: Place the ham in a large saucepan of cold water. Over low heat, slowly bring the water just to the simmering point. Drain the ham immediately, and proceed with the recipe.Serve with scalloped potatoes and a green vegetable. Serve with scalloped potatoes and a green vegetable.

Ham, Cheese & Cornmeal Muffins- Meal in a Muffin!

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:28:41 -0400

An awesome way to use up leftover ham! I like the extra spice of the chili flakes, but they are good omitted as well. If you are using toupee ham, decrease milk to 3/4 cup. Recipe was originally made with white flour and more oil, but I think these are taste just as good- and are healthier too! For an extra bit of vitamins, try adding 1/4 cup chopped broccoli, cauliflower, or mixed veggies. I hope you like them! -- posted by Tomato Sandwich

Great, EASY way to class up a store-bought ham for the holidays. I have added 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper to the glaze with yummy results - gives it a sweet-spicy crust - mmmmmmmm :) -- posted by Raquel Grinnell

Croque Monsieur Puffs

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:24:10 -0400

My latest crush is this new incarnation of gourgeres, or cheese puffs. These were inspired by the classic French ham-and-cheese sandwich, Croque Monsieur. If you're serving only one thing with cocktails before dinner, it would have to be these heavenly puffs. They're perfect for "popping" in between sips of a Pear Thyme Fizz or Peach 75. -- posted by College Girl

Zesty Ham and Bean Soup

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:15:46 -0500

I had some ham left over from another meal and wanted to use it up, so I went to the pantry to see what kind of a soup I could throw together. The following recipe is what I came up with, and if I say so myself, it came out hearty and delicious! You may of course use different kinds of beans or spices as well as frozen carrots and/or canned tomatoes, but I prefer to use fresh ingredients when I have them on hand. Enjoy! -- posted by St. Louie Suzie

Simple Ham Spread

Here's a very simple and basic ham sandwich spread from Jean Pare's Company's Coming Soups & Sandwiches. You can make this as written, increase the quantity of chopped onion or add things like chopped celery and mustard to add more flavour. This recipe should be enough to make 4 sandwiches. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

I was thumbing through the family cookbook and found a couple variations for scalloped potatos..I referred to both recipes and tweeked it a bit. I prefer to leave the skins on, but it's up to you, tastes great either way. -- posted by Uncle 12

Deviled Ham Cheese Ball

This is a great cheeseball recipe I picked up somewhere over 30 yrs ago. It's still a family favorite! This one is better if you let it age a day or so to let the garlic age in. -- posted by Chef TH

Sweet and Savory Squash Stew

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:41:31 -0500

This recipe combines some of the most iconic tastes of fall--butternut and acorn squash, sweet potato, apple--in a sweet and savory pot of deliciousness. I recommend serving with a dollop of sour cream. And cornbread. All amounts for seasonings are estimates--I tend to season as I go and according to taste; I have a feeling these are underestimates. I will be sure to update the next time I make this with adjusted amounts. I used a smoked (pre-cooked) ham steak for this; I have also made it with other kinds of ham, with turkey sausage, and without meat altogether with positive results. -- posted by Tlharin
