Delicious Greens And Ham Recipes

HAM AND EGGS WITH GREENS

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, mustard and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in 1 tablespoon olive oil until smooth.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove each piece to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium low. Working in batches, crack the eggs into the skillet and cook, without flipping, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among the plates.
• Add the bell pepper, mesclun greens and chives to the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Add the salad to the plates. Serve with the baguette.

DELICIOUS GREENS AND HAM

Steps:

• Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add ham and onion; cook and stir until onion is clear. Add the tomatoes and turnip greens and cover the skillet. I use a 12 inch skillet and I have to pack the greens down a bit to make them fit at first. When the pan starts to steam, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 12 minutes.
• Transfer the greens and ham to a serving bowl and toss with apple cider vinegar.

MUSTARD GREENS WITH HAM RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat.
• Add the onions, ham shanks or ham bone; cook, stirring, until onions are wilted.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
• Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
• Add the mustard greens, a few handfuls at a time, adding more as the first batch wilts.
• Reduce heat to medium-low; add Worcestershire sauce and a dash of hot pepper sauce.
• Cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Cover and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes longer.
• Taste and add more pepper sauce, salt, and pepper, as needed. *If you can't find pepper sauce or pepper vinegar in your area, you can make it quickly. Fill a washed and sterilized jar with small hot peppers. Bring about 1 cup of vinegar (as much as will cover the peppers) to a boil and then pour over the peppers. Cover and store in the refrigerator. For hotter pepper sauce, cut a slit in some of the peppers or slice a few of them. Some other types of greens that could be substituted include collard greens , kale , turnip greens , or a mixture of greens .

COLLARD GREENS WITH HAM HOCKS

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil. Add the ham hocks and sear on all sides. Meanwhile, prepare the collards by ripping the leaf away from the spine. Pile the greens on top of each other and cut into long strips; then cut the strips to make squares. Set aside.
• When the ham hocks are lightly browned, add the onions and garlic to the pot; stir and sweat them until the onions are translucent and tender, 2 minutes. Add half of the greens and a cup of stock so the greens begin to wilt. Season with a pinch of salt (which will also help the wilting process) and stir to combine. Then, add the remaining greens and another cup of stock and cover to steam, about 2 minutes. Add 1-2 cups more stock, to just cover the greens and ham hocks. Season with more salt and pepper, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook, 1-1½ hours.
• After 1-1½ hours, use tongs to remove the ham hocks to cool (they'll be falling off the bone). Add another ½ cup of stock, the cane vinegar, and the cane syrup to the greens. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. When the ham hocks have cooled, pull the meat off the bones, chop finely, and add back into the greens. Serve in a bowl with bits of ham hock and plenty of the "potlikker."
