CHRISTMAS HAM QUESADILLA WITH SWEET PICKLED ONIONS



Christmas ham quesadilla with sweet pickled onions image

Use this as a basic recipe for eating up your Christmas leftovers. Shredded turkey would work well and you can even use up a mix of leftover cheeses

Provided by Dan Doherty

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Snack, Supper

Time 15m

Yield Serves 2 (easily doubled)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 handful leftover ham or two slices ham, shredded
2 large flour tortillas
1 handful cheddar or other hard cheese like comté or gruyère, grated small knob of butter
4 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 star anise
pinch of chilli flakes
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
1 small red onion , finely sliced
handful of mint leaves , torn, to serve

Steps:

  • To make the pickled onion, heat the vinegar, spices and sugar in a small pan with 4 tbsp water until the sugar dissolves. Put the onion in a bowl. Strain the liquid onto the onion and leave to pickle for at least 20 mins or up to a day. The longer you leave it, the softer and more pickled the onion will become.
  • Scatter the ham evenly over one of the tortillas, then sprinkle the cheese over the top. Spoon some of the onions over the cheese and top with the remaining tortilla. The tortilla can be made up to a day ahead and left in the fridge ready to cook.
  • To serve, heat half the butter in a non-stick pan. Once foaming, carefully slide in the quesadilla. Cook on a low heat for about 2-3 mins, pressing with a spatula, until the base is nicely coloured. Turn the quesadilla over to cook the other side, adding the remaining butter to the pan. Lift the quesadilla on to a chopping board, cut into wedges, and serve scattered with the mint and a few pieces of onion, with the remaining onion on the side.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a fully cooked ham with a bone-in. The bone adds flavor to the brine.
  • Use a variety of pickling spices to create a flavorful brine. Some good options include mustard seeds, coriander seeds, allspice berries, and bay leaves.
  • Let the ham soak in the brine for at least 24 hours, but no longer than 3 days. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Once the ham is pickled, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the ham for up to 6 months.
  • Pickled ham is a great addition to sandwiches, salads, and charcuterie boards. It can also be served as an appetizer or main course.

Conclusion:

Pickled ham is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer. Pickled ham is a great addition to sandwiches, salads, and charcuterie boards. It can also be served as an appetizer or main course.
