A great way to use the leftover Easter ham. These are wonderful with leftover yams, heated and mashed and dripping with butter; applesauce is a good accompaniment as well.

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups ground ham
1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen broccoli, thawed and drained
1 onion, finely chopped
3 large eggs, beaten
¾ cup cornmeal
½ cup grated Asiago cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons anise seed
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine ground ham, broccoli, onion, and beaten eggs in a large bowl. Mix with your hands for 1 full minute, or until eggs are evenly absorbed into meat.
  • Sprinkle cornmeal, Asiago cheese, garlic, anise seed, basil, pepper, and salt over meat mixture and mix again with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed for 1 full minute.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 3 ounces of ham mixture into your hands and form patties about 1/2-inch thick. Lay patties in the skillet and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used, then serve hot.

These corn cakes were just okay. I think I would have liked them better if I had used fresh corn instead of canned.

These corn cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk next time.
