Even though I grew up in the south, I wasn’t exposed to a lot of southern food. It wasn’t until I was in my teens and early adulthood until I had peach cobbler and collard greens!
Eggs Benedict is possibly my favorite breakfast dishes. It’s basically a poached egg and ham served on top of toasted piece of bread or English muffin, smothered in creamy Hollandaise sauce. (Drool)
Kimchi jjigae (kim-chee gee-gay) is a spicy Korean stew made with kimchi and pork belly. This recipe was given to me to by a friend who introduced me to Korean food.
Thick and packed with flavor, split pea soup with chunks of ham is one of my favorite comfort foods. This is especially if you have left-over ham. This recipe makes enough for a large family.
The Basics
- Cooked ham cut into chunks – You’ll need at least 2 handfuls.
I was determined to salvage some of the meat from my ham fail into something delicious. Since the meat was dried out, the only way I could add flavor and moisture is using it in a casserole.
Although this dish was my salvation, you could also use the same recipe just to create a tasty meal!
