I have a lot of leftover ham. I have never made this. Any favorite recipes? We generally have ordinary sandwiches, and I make a pea soup. But this is tons of ham, so I need to get creative. Froze some for the soup at a later date. Might also do a quiche.
Got it for a steal over the holidays!
ETA: Tried to whip up a basic attempt. went a bit heavy on the Dijon, and you cannot put that genie back in the bottle. But it is good. Dh uses only Dijon on a sandwich, so he will not mind it. I was looking for a sweeter taste, in my mind. Couple of hard boiled eggs, a bit of celery, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, mayo, minced celery.
It's ok. Not sure I like it *better* than a simple sandwich with ham and a little mayo, lol. The hard boiled eggs do give it something.
Now I need a natural diuretic.
I just grind it with my Kitchenaid meat grinder (nicer texture than just food processor) and mix it with chopped dill pickle and Miracle Whip. My daughter and I LOVE the stuff. I thought it was a peculiarly Midwestern thing, though! :) Tina Fey makes a bit of fun of it in her book.
Hard-boiled eggs sound like a marvelous addition. I'll have to try that.
Thanks. I did not grind it, but finely chopped/minced with a knife. I was thinking the food processor would overdo it. I do think the eggs make it, but I *am* a big egg salad fan.
I bet it is a Midwest thing, since I have never made it, my family has never made it, and I have never encountered it at a party, lol. Always lived in the greater Boston area.
Dh says his mom used to make it. She is from Ohio, Dayton area, I think. And central NY in married/family life. He remembers a grinder.
