Leftover Ham

You can also use it for topping pizzas.

 Make Denver omeletts(I know it is an American thing.... LOL) - chopped ham, chopped onion, peppers chopped and grated cheese. Also can use mushrooms if on hand. Sautee the veg in a bit of butter until softened and add the chopped ham to warm, then make your omelett and befor folding put on the veg and meat. Fold over put cheese ontop and put under grill till cheese if bubbly.

We also used to make a big pot of Ham and Beans when we had ham leftover. We use what we call Navy beans, but you can use dried harricot or pinto beans too. Soak over night and cook beans until just tender and then add the ham, chopped carrot, onion, and celery. And we serve it over cornbread.

It is lovely chopped and added to green beans too more as a flavouring.

Now you have made me want to get a ham this week. LOL

Hi Poolfield

This is the cornbread recipe I use, it is from a cajun cookbook that I like. I find it works fine.

Cornbread
1 1/4 cups cornmeal
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons oil

Sift dry ingredients together. Make a well in center. Beat egg, milk, and oil together and pour into well. Mix thoroughly. Pour into heated, well, greased round 8 inch dish and bake at 180-200 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until mixture pulls away from the pan

Great advice Havendore, very very yummy. A x

It is wheat and to a lesser extent spelt that give me problems but oats are not a problem thanks. I am after a bread replacement but cornbread does seem to be more like cake.

I have tried loads of different bread recipes but most of the results lead me to believe that Ryvita, ricecakes or oatcakes are preferable (indeed cardboard is better than some I have made ).

There is now a brilliant glutenfree bread called Genius available from supermakets but at £2.50 per loaf I thought if I could make my own it would be cheaper.

I have found a recipe for spelt bread that works quite well in a breadmaker but more than 1 slice a day and I'm back to having trouble.

Now I have got used to it I don't find wheatfree living all that difficult but I do crave a good cheese and tomato sandwich and the Genius loaf sorted that out for me
