COUNTRY HAM AND HOMINY HASH



Country Ham and Hominy Hash image

A good hash is like soup: you can toss together all the odds and ends from your fridge and pantry and end up with something rustic and hearty that is much more than the sum of its parts.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 4-ounce piece country ham
1 bay leaf
3 or 4 black peppercorns
2 russet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and chopped
2 cups cooked hominy, rinsed and drained
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
Pinch of sea salt
1 or 2 large eggs per person

Steps:

  • Place the ham in a pot with the bay leaf and peppercorns. Cover with water and simmer for about 1 hour, until the ham is fork-tender (see Know-how, page 172). Add the potatoes and simmer for 10 minutes more, until the potatoes are just beginning to get tender. Strain the ham and potatoes from the pot, reserving about 1/4 cup of the liquid, removing and discarding the bay leaf, and set aside.
  • Using two forks, shred the ham into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, hominy, and onion. Stir in the reserved cooking liquid and parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. (Country ham is salty, so be sure to taste before adding any extra salt.)
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ham-potato mixture and spread into a flat cake. Cover with a splatter screen or lid and cook until crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and re-form the cake. Cover and cook, adding a little more oil if needed, until crispy on the other side. Remove from the heat and cover.
  • Fill a large skillet with water about 2 inches deep and bring to a boil. Add the vinegar and salt and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and poach for 2 to 3 minutes, until the whites set and a thin, translucent film forms over the yolks (see Know-how, page 86). Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.
  • Divide the hash evenly between individual serving plates, place 1 or 2 eggs on top of each, and serve hot.
  • For a more rustic interpretation of this dish, make a hole in the hash, crack the eggs in the hole, and cover to fry, rather than poach, to your liking. For a sweet-and-savory combination, substitute sweet potatoes for the russets, and for a crispy finish, scatter fried oysters on top. Or, make a cheesy variation by layering the hash mixture with Gruyère cheese in a skillet to form one large cake and sauté until brown and crispy. Slide the cake out of the skillet and cut into 4 to 6 wedges, then assemble the dish as for the main recipe.
  • Hominy is the name for corn kernels that have been hulled to remove the bran and germ. Lye hominy is hulled by soaking the corn kernels in a weak lye solution-a very traditional, centuries-old Native American method-and pearl hominy is hulled mechanically. It is then dried and either ground to make our beloved hominy grits or boiled whole to make what New Orleansians call "big hominy." You can buy hominy canned, meaning precooked, or dried, in which case it will need to be presoaked and boiled in the same manner as dried beans.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make all the difference in the flavor of your ham and hominy salad. Look for fresh ham that is free of blemishes and has a mild, smoky flavor. Use fresh hominy that is plump and has a slightly sweet taste.
  • Choose the Right Beans: You can use either canned or dried beans for this recipe. If using canned beans, rinse them well before adding them to the salad. If using dried beans, soak them overnight before cooking them according to the package directions.
  • Cook the Ham Properly: The ham should be cooked until it is tender and juicy. You can cook the ham in a slow cooker, in the oven, or on the stovetop. If cooking the ham in the oven, roast it at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour per pound.
  • Don't Overcook the Hominy: Hominy should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked hominy will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add Your Favorite Vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Add any vegetables that you like, such as corn, black beans, red onions, or bell peppers.
  • Make it a Meal: This salad can be served as a main course or a side dish. If serving it as a main course, add some protein, such as grilled chicken or shrimp.

Conclusion:

Ham and hominy salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying salad that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this ham and hominy salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
