Leftover ham ideas - NOT PIE!

[BuzzieLittleBee]

I bought and slow cooked a ham yesterday to make a chicken, ham and leek pie. I have half the ham left, but can't decide what to do with it. Obviously not a pie, and preferably not a pasta sauce - what else can I do with ham?! I'd prefer something 'interesting' in terms of flavour but am lacking inspiration. Google searches don't get much further than pie. Hoping someone here will have a bright idea or 2...

Oops sorry just seen no soup

Ham hash
Pulled ham

these are good. obviously adapt the recipe to suit yourself. My friend just uses mature cheddar rather than swiss cheese

Panhaggerty, layered ham cheese potatoes and onions, baked. Very warming on a snowy winter day, popular in the North East years ago, look on BBC Food for a recipe.

Pea and ham soup

Ham, cheese and red onion omelette?

Pea, ham and mint soup
Quiche
Crustless muffins
ham and cheese toasties
Fried rice

Eggs Benedict, would probably add some witl d spinach. Not really a dinner dish but could eat it all day long.

Ham, egg and chips.

Ham croquettes.

Tiroler grostl or tartiflette but substituting the bacon with diced ham fried crispy.

Frittata?

Over Christmas I put all the leftovers including the ham together in a casserole dish, added some mustard and covered with stuffing and baked it. It was bloody delicious

Ooh, tartiflette. Yum.

That sounds divine!

Pea and ham risotto?

IfUCantDance it was 😋 my inspiration came from a YouTube channel, Ail Lives Well On Less. I didn’t have all the ingredients she used so I just used everything that needed using.

Baked potatoes with ham and cheese. Ie sccop out mash potato, ham spring onion back in skins, then grill.

Ham egg and chips for me. But I can also confirm the basic goring is lovely www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/dec/23/glazed-ham-recipes-batch-cooking-get-ahead-richard-turner

Campfire stew is lovely plus you've already done the gammon so you could do the sauce/stew on the hob..

FFS nasi goreng

It would be ham egg and chips here or ham fried rice - both of which we’ve had to use rest of our Christmas ham and delicious

Not much help now but we usually cook a ham to eat with gratin dauphinois or garlic mash, then use the leftovers for a pie.

If pasta, pies and soup are off the cards, is quiche too pie like and ramen too pasta like? Tartiflette would be my favourite suggestion or a cassoulet.

Do you have to "do" anything with it?
It's ham. Ham and chips. Ham sandwiches. Ham salad. You don't have to complicate things.

I would slice it up and freeze it in small batches.

These can then be defrosted and used for sandwiches or added to other meals .

I made crispy shredded beef once with ham instead of beef. The saltiness went really well with the sweetness of the sauce.

Diana Henry’s Ham & Haddie recipe is fab - in fact thank you for reminding of it as it’s now going on the menu this week.

I would have the ham as it is, with a vegetable side dish. Probably cauliflower cheese (or cauliflower and broccoli cheese) and a baked potato.

Or as pp have said, ham egg and chips.
