Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ham steaks
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (15 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Tear off two large sheets of aluminum foil. Place one ham slice onto each piece of foil, and sprinkle brown sugar on both sides. Spread a little bit of the crushed pineapple over the ham, then top with sweet potatoes. Sprinkle a little bit more brown sugar and pineapple over the sweet potatoes. Close the aluminum foil tightly around the ham, and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and carefully open the packets. Sprinkle miniature marshmallows over the top, and return to the oven with the foil open. Bake for another 10 minutes. If you want the marshmallows really toasty, you could brown them under the broiler for a couple of minutes. You will end up with a sweet, juicy ham dish and very few dishes to wash.

GERMAN-STYLE POTATO AND HAM SALAD

Categories     Salad     Onion     Pork     Potato     Vegetable     Side     Bacon     Ham     Summer     Gourmet     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds medium (2 to 3 inches in diameter) red boiling potatoes, scrubbed well
1 pound medium asparagus, trimmed
5 bacon slices (5 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 ounces sliced Black Forest or other baked deli ham, slices stacked and cut in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide strips
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
1 cup finely chopped sweet onion such as Vidalia
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet gherkin pickles
3 tablespoons olive oil
7 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes in a vegetable steamer set over 1 inch of boiling water in a wide 4- to 5-quart pot, covered, until tender when pierced with a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • Meanwhile, cook asparagus in a wide 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus with tongs to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry. Cut off and reserve tips, then cut stalks into 1-inch pieces. Add tips and stalks to a large bowl.
  • Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving bacon drippings in skillet.
  • Once potatoes have cooled to warm, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Add to bowl with asparagus, along with bacon, ham, celery, onion, parsley, and pickle.
  • Return skillet with bacon drippings to moderately high heat. Add oil, then whisk in vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 30 seconds. Immediately pour hot dressing over potato salad and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the asparagus in a large pot of salted water. Just be sure to remove it from the heat as soon as it's tender-crisp, to prevent it from overcooking.
  • To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the asparagus, strawberries, almonds, and feta cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This asparagus and strawberry salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy these seasonal ingredients. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish. The combination of sweet strawberries, tangy vinaigrette, and salty feta cheese is sure to please everyone at your table.
