If you have an overabundance of ham from the weekend’s Easter festivities, this recipe (straight from my Italian family’s cookbook) is one of many ways you can repurpose your leftovers. My family loves to make split pea soup with the ham, too. And of course, you can always make a ham sandwich with cheddar cheese, mustard, mayo, sliced pickles, lettuce and tomato.
As for those hardboiled eggs, egg or potato salad are a classic way to give your leftovers a facelift. Or throw them on top of a Cobb or Niçoise salad. I also love marinating them in soy sauce, mirin, sugar and rice vinegar to eat with ramen or on their own.
