Boiled Ham And Cabbage Food

BEST BOILED HAM AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Remove the ham from its wrappings. Cut off the skin and make sure you remove the plastic thing that covers the end of the bone.
• Stud the ham with the whole cloves, distributing them evenly over the surface.
• Put ham and onions into a very large pot and cover with COLD water. Its important to use cold water because it draws the excess salt out of the meat and makes a more flavorful broth.
• Bring to a boil slowly over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• Add all the veggies except the cabbage. Raise heat and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and simmer another 15 minutes or until the largest potatoes are nearly cooked.
• Add the cabbage wedges. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Simmer another 10-20 minutes until cabbage is cooked but not mushy.
• Use a large, slotted, serving spoon to remove all the veggies to a large serving dish.
• Lift ham onto a platter and carve off a suitable number of servings for the meal.
• Serve each person a slice of ham and a portion of each vegetable. Grind black pepper over the plate and offer butter for the potatoes and other roots if desired.

HAM AND CABBAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Spread out chopped ham on the bottom of the prepared dish.
• Set hash browns on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Potatoes should be thawed and feel slightly warm to the touch, but not be cooked. Set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onions until they are just starting to turn clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped cabbage and continue to cook, stirring often, until cabbage wilts down a little but is still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in shredded raw carrots and microwaved hash browns, then add mixture to the baking dish.
• Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Combine all-purpose flour, salt, dry mustard, and white pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle flour and seasonings over the melted butter and stir, constantly, until flour and butter are well mixed and the mixture is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Allow to bubble for 1 minute, while stirring.
• Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, stir in an additional 3 to 4 tablespoons milk. Remove from heat.
• Add half of the grated Cheddar cheese and stir until it is melted, then add the remaining half and repeat.
• Pour sauce over the casserole and top with crumbled bacon and cracker crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is bubbly and brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm.

CLASSIC CABBAGE WITH HAM AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut cabbage head in half and pop out core.
• Clean potatoes, no need to peel, but do use a dish sponge scratchy side to scrub them really well--cut off any bad black spots. Cut in half.
• Place cabbage on bottom, then top with potatoes.
• Toss in one left over ham, bone and all (or just the few pounds of ham you've purchased for this recipe -- I can say that you almost cannot have too much ham! But, it's all got to fit in your pot! LOL!). You do not have to cut it up. I see so many recipes where they are cutting the meat off the bone in neat little cubes and adding them to the pot. That is craziness! Firstly, the bone has a LOT of flavor and secondly, why work when the steam causes it to fall off the bone? I like to just toss in the entire ham, with whatever is leftover from our meal. When the dish is ready it will literally just fall off the bone at the time of serving. That is the beauty of this dish -- easy peasy!
• It's ok to just squeeze in all the ingredients the best you can. You will be cooking at extremely low heat for a very long time, it will all be fine.
• Salt and pepper to taste -- or do like I prefer to do and add nothing until it is plated. The ham is salty so it is very easy to over salt this dish. Be careful.
• A crock pot is perhaps the best way to make this meal the first time around, however I have made it on the stove top with the heat set to the lowest setting for the past 30 years. I like to use the stove because I have a pot far larger than the crock. It's up to you. If using a crock pot, use the medium setting all day long (depending -- if you have a crappy crock, you may need to set it on high -- you know what you have). On stove, cook at lowest possible setting all day. This is the perfect meal to set up before going to work -- when you get home dinner is ready!
• I just want to make a point of saying that NO water is required. You may have a hard time believing this. My mother certainly does and has ruined many pots as she will dump a tall glass (or 2) of water in when I'm not looking. Unfortunately you then wind up with a pot of water with ham, cabbage and potatoes swimming around begging to be rescued--and you lose a ton of flavor. DO NOT ADD WATER. Please trust me. There will be plenty of juice from the cabbage. So much so that you will most likely throw it out (though I like to use it as broth to pour over the dogs' dry food).
• So, quick recap -- just clean everything and squeeze it all into you pot or crock. For stove top, cook at lowest setting all day long, crock -- go for medium.

Add the carrots and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. 3. Add the onion and potatoes and simmer an additional 10 minutes. 4. Remove the pork to let cool a little and add the cabbage and simmer an additional 15 minutes. 4. Cut the pork into pieces. Return pork to pot until ready to serve.

COTTAGE HAM AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the Cottage Ham in a large pot. Cover with cold water and cook at medium heat for 30 minutes. Add the onion, carrots, potatoes, cabbage and pepper. Cover with more water if necessary. Cook until the vegetables are fork-tender. You could drain off the first water that the ham is cooked in if it's too greasy. Add new water if you like.
• Serve in a bowl with buttered bread along side.

HAM AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• If you are using a Porkette, remove it from the red packaging and remove the cloth netting from the meat. Cut the porkette into three equal pieces.
• If you are using a ham steak, make a few small cuts around the edge of the ham steak to prevent it from curling up while it cooks.
• Place the meat in a large stock pot and cover with water.
• Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove the meat from the cooking liquid, RESERVE THE COOKING LIQUID AND SET ASIDE.
• Cut the meat into 1 inch pieces and set aside.
• In the stockpot, sauté the onion and carrot in the olive oil for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
• Add the chopped ham, cabbage, potatoes, thyme, pepper, and one cup of the reserved cooking liquid, stirring well to combine.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. I find that once the mixture starts cooking, the cabbage releases enough liquid for the mixture to simmer, but if things look too dry to you, you can add more of the reserved cooking liquid. Just don't add too much - it's not a soup.
• Remove one cup of the mixture and purée in a blender. Return the purée to the pot with the rest of the mixture, stirring well to combine (I use a stick blender, and puree a small amount of the stew right in the pot).
• Porkette and ham are salty, and I don't ever need to add more salt. If you do decide to add salt, taste the mixture first, because there is a good chance you will over-salt it if you don't.

• Mix condensed soup, water, and sour cream together in a bowl until well blended. Pour over egg noodles and ham mixture and stir until well combined. Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish and cover tightly with foil.

BOILED HAM

Steps:

• The night before the gammon is to be cooked place it in a bowl of cold water and allow to soak.
• This removes some of the salt and tenderises it a little bit.
• Place in a large cooking pot, (make sure you have a lid for it), cover with cold water, add the onions and bouquet garni and bring to the boil.
• Turn the heat right down so the water is barely bubbling and put on the lid.
• Cook for 20 minutes per pound of meat.
• Once the cooking time is up leave the meat in the liquour until cooled.
• This stops it tensing up, and drying out, and makes it lovely and tender.
