Ham Turkey Tumble Food

CREAMED HAM (OR TURKEY)

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium sized pot over medium heat.
• Slowly add flour, whisking constantly to make a smooth mixture. Cook the mixture for about a minute, whisking constantly.
• Gradually add milk, whisking during every addition. Mixture will initially seize up but as you add more milk it will start to loosen.
• Slowly the mixture will become more liquid. Continue to whisk it very well in order to avoid lumps. Add milk a few tablespoons at a time, whisking as you add it, until it's all incorporated.
• Initially the mixture will be thin. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot, until it thickens. Depending on the temperature of the burner this could take 5-15 minutes.
• The sauce will be done not long after it starts to slightly boil and thicken. Stir in chopped ham (or turkey).
• Season with salt, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and adding more to taste, depending on the saltiness of your ham or turkey. I often use about 1 teaspoon in total.
• Serve over mashed potatoes, with vegetables on the side.Enjoy! :)

HAM & VEG CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large frying pan, chop the remaining butter into small chunks and put in the fridge. Add the leeks, carrots, parsnips and celeriac to the pan with a splash of water, season, cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 mins, stirring now and then, until the veg is beginning to soften.
• Stir in 2 tbsp plain flour, then add the stock bit by bit, stirring as you go, until all incorporated and smooth. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 mins until the vegetables are tender.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Add the ham, all but 2 tbsp of the crème fraîche, and the mustard, season with plenty of black pepper and transfer to an ovenproof baking dish. Put the remaining butter and flour in a bowl and season. Rub together with your fingers to a fine crumbly texture. Add the remaining crème fraîche and mix with a cutlery knife until the crumble clumps together in places. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the filling, then bake for 35-40 mins until crispy and golden on top.
