Ham and Peas à la King

Here’s another great way to use up left over ham.  Served over toast, English muffins or rice it  makes a filling meal and is fairly easy to prepare.

Ingredients for Ham and Peas à la King

The ingredients for this recipe should serve approximately 4 persons.

  1. 2 cups diced cooked ham
  2. 2 cups peas
  3. 5 Tbs butter
  4. 5 Tbs all purpose flour
  5. 3 carrots finely diced
  6. 1 medium onion diced
  7. 1 clove garlic minced
  8. 4-5 green onions finely sliced (white and light green parts)
  9. 1-2 tsp salt and pepper to taste
  10. 3 cups chilled milk or ½&½
  11. ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

 Directions for Ham and Peas à la King

In a large sauté pan melt the butter on medium heat.  Add the onion and carrot and cook until the carrot is slightly soft ( approximately 5- 10 minute).

Add the garlic and 1 tsp of salt and pepper each, and cook for about 2 minutes.

Sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine until all the raw flour is incorporated.  Continue to cook for a few more minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.

Bring the heat up to medium high and add the milk and stir to dissolve the roux.  Continue to stir as the milk heats and thickens.  Once bubbles appear the sauce should be thick, remove from the heat.  Add the ham and peas, the green onions, and Parmesan and stir to mix and heat the peas and ham through.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve over English muffins, toast or rice.

Alright this obsession with all things green has really got to stop.  The Ham, the sauce, the muffin were fine and it was fairly easy to eat around those little green balls, but Oh! so time consuming.
