I made these ham hash
cakes as a way of using up some ham on the bone while not tasting too
hammy, if you know what I mean. Glazed ham on the bone is fantastic but
after a few days you need to come up with ways to use the ham that aren't just
ham sandwiches or ham and salad.
I cooked the vegetables especially
for this dish but it would also be a great way to use up any leftover roast
vegetables you had. Anything that will mash could be included.
Ingredients
2 cooked mashed potatoes
1 cooked mashed carrot
4 cloves of garlic cooked
in the same water
¼ an onion, finely diced
and fried off till just soft
¼ cup finely diced ham
1 teaspoon mustard powder
(Hot English)
¼ cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
Salt and pepper
Mix all this together and
form into little cakes with moist hands. Fry in oil/butter til golden and
then pop them into a moderate oven to finish for 15 minutes (you will need a
longer time if you are starting with cold mashed vegetables).
This sounds like a delightful dish!! Thanks for sharing it with your blog readers.
