I need some nice leftover ham recipes?!
I cooked a very nice smithfield ham today and I have a lot left!. I packed it up in storage bags and have the remainder refrigerated!. Can anyone give some good recipes for leftover ham!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Whenever I have leftover ham, I make 15 bean soup!. I think the brand I get is Hambeen's!. It is great to have in the winter, and inexpensive, too! One bowl of soup is like a meal for me!.
I don't use the seasoning packet that comes with it!. I just dice up the ham & chop up some onion!. It is best to soak the beans overnight and cook a long time with the ham bone in!.
You can cook it in the crock pot as well!. Search for "15 bean soup recipes" in Google to find lots of other ways to make it, or just add whatever ingredients you think taste good!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Split Pea Soup
1LB (about 2 – ? cups) green split peas
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 whole clove
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery rib with leaves, shopped
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 carrot, chopped
1 small potato, unpeeled and diced
1 cup diced cooked ham
Wash and sort the split peas!. Put them in a 6-quart kettle with all the other ingredients except the ham!. Bring to a boil!. Lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally to keep the peas from sticking to the bottom of the pan, for 2 to 3 hours!. The peas and vegetables should be very soft and begin to fall apart!. The thicker part of the soup will tend to sink to the bottom of the pan and should be stirred up before serving, or you can puree the soup before serving!. Stir in the ham about 5 minutes before serving!.
