COUNTRY HAM HASH RECIPE



Country Ham Hash Recipe image

Once you start cooking this Country Ham Hash, the inviting aromas will have your sleepy overnight guests hurrying down the stairs and into the kitchen. You can get a head start on this breakfast side dish by chopping all of the vegetables a day in advance. Store the potato cubes in water to prevent browning, and pat them dry with paper towels before adding them to the skillet so they will cook up nice and crisp. If you're prepping everything day of, peel the russet potatoes and pat them with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture while the ham sizzles in the skillet. Transfer the ham to a separate plate, then add the potatoes, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the potatoes are tender, adding in garlic, pepper, and salt. While the mixture cooks go ahead and chop the cooked ham, stirring it into the potatoes once they are tender. Country Ham Hash is delicious for a holiday brunch, but it also makes a satisfying and quick meal for the family during the week. Add a tossed green salad to round out the meal.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 8-pound fully cooked bone-in half ham (shank or butt)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup honey
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Bring the ham to room temperature 1 hour before baking.

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 350 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham, leaving a 1/4-inch layer of fat. Score the fat with a sharp knife in a 1-inch crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Place the ham flat-side down in a roasting pan and add the chicken broth to the pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the honey, brown sugar, mustards, vinegar, hot sauce, thyme and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Remove 3/4 cup of the glaze to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Remove the ham from the oven, discard the foil and brush with about one-quarter of the remaining glaze. Continue baking, brushing with the glaze and the pan juices every 30 minutes, until the ham is a deep reddish-brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 more hours. (Add 1/2 cup water to the pan if the juices dry out.)
  • Transfer the ham to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved glaze.

SPICY HAM SLICE/STEAK



Spicy Ham Slice/Steak image

I'm not a big ham fan but I just LOVE this dish. Easy to do, very forgiving - you can substitute different kinds of juice or soda. Ham steaks freeze well and thaw fast so it's good for a week night. Fairly economical if you get the ham on sale. I love to have it with orange rice where I substitute about a half a cup of OJ for water with plain old white or even brown rice, and a nice green salad. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 slice ham steak
1/2 cup orange juice (apricot or pineapple work well, too, so does Tang!)
1/2 cup ginger ale (or Sprite, 7-Up or a cola drink)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I usually use light)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Prick ham slice with a fork all over to make holes and slash the edges so it won't curl during baking.
  • Place in baking dish just big enough to hold slice.
  • Mix all other ingredients together well and pour over ham.
  • Marinate at least 30 minutes but can be longer (some times I do it in a baggie overnight).
  • Put in 350* oven, bake for about 30 minutes. Mmmm!
