101 Things to do with Leftover Ham

There is probably an endless list of what ham stock and ham pieces could be used for.  And don't forget to keep the cooking liquid for soups and risottos.

Pasta Carbonara - I am planning this as I type.  Just need a little leftover cream, cheddar, ham, & garlic.

Pasta e Fagioli - Soupy pasta, beans, ham & veg

Minestrone - The cooking liquor has been frozen ready to use as stock for Minestrone, or a chard, mushroom & bacon risotto.

Cauliflower or Macaroni Cheese - Cauliflower cheese in our house is a combination of macaroni and cauliflower cheese to make it into a balanced meal.  A sprinkling of chopped ham adds a little more protein and flavour to an already tasty dish.

Cheese & Ham Pizza - Again add a sprinkling of chopped ham

Quick Pea & Soup with Greens 

Pea & Ham Soup - A warming Autumn/Winter classic made with frozen peas

Split Pea & Ham Soup - As above made with split peas or 50/50 split peas and frozen

Boston Baked Beans - Adding the ham fat and bone to this dish during the cooking adds another level of flavour.

Chicken, Ham & Mushroom Pie Filling - this usually gets served as a casserole.  It could be made with turkey instead of chicken
