I have 1kg of ham leftover

I'm bored of ham already! What can I do with the leftovers that's pretty healthy?

Tonight is pea and ham soup with fresh baked bread.

Tomorrow is a frittata with, you guessed it ham!

After that I'm stumped, any ideas please?

You can freeze it? Especially if you dice it into fairly small pieces and bag them up for future frittata/pie/soup type recipes.

It makes a very good breakfast with a couple of poached eggs though Grin

Nasi Goreng.
Not sure what the correct recipe is but I fry it with some onion and garlic and 'trail' beaten egg through it, add cooked rice, and eat with Soy Sauce. I'm sure you could add veg.

Duh why didn't I think of freezing it?! Nasi Goreng is good too!

Send some to me, I’ve finished mine!

I’d have some on crusty baguettes for lunches.

Not healthy but ham croquettas are lovely

Ham and potato cakes

Do a bean casserole and add chopped up ham to further the flavour?

This ham tomato pasta looks nice

Or this leek ham and mushroom pasta (uses package ham but easy to substitute)

A pea and ham risotto (And Arancini if you make enough for leftovers)

Ham and mushroom pasties using a ready roll sheet of puff would nice for packed lunches? Or a crispy pancake like this www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/creamy-chicken-and-mushroom-crispy-pancakes/ but use ham instead of chicken?

And, I may get flamed, ham and pineapple pizza Grin

I love ham! I'll send you my address, problem solved.

It does freeze. I froze some in slices, well wrapped in clingfilm to avoid freezerburn and then used it in macaroni cheese, hashes and things.

Made pea and ham soup which was lovely and I've chopped up and frozen the rest..I am over ham!

Freeze in slices for sandwiches in January
