Do you always have leftovers from Easter (or Passover) supper? This week the #SundaySupper crew is sharing great ways to revamp those leftovers. Ham is a family tradition - not my nuclear family - but my mom and dad's tradition. And we, inevitably, come home with slabs of it.
Inspired by an episode of Mind of a Chef, my Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf and I made some pan-fried ham with okra and red-eye gravy. This recipe used not only leftover ham but leftover coffee. I know, what's that, right?
I love that this recipe doesn't require measurements...and it only uses one pan!

I love pan-fried ham and I adore fried okra, especially when it's been tossed around in crunchy cornmeal. This sounds like my ideal meal, Camilla!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stacy. It was delicious!
DeleteWho knew red eye gravy was so easy? What a terrific recipe for my leftover ham!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great southern way to use up the leftover ham!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
DeleteMmmmm - I love red eye gravy!
ReplyDeleteYou've heard of it? It was a new one for me.
DeleteWhoa! I had never even heard about red eye gravy until I saw this post. This is great – – I mean, it even uses left over coffee! How could you go wrong? Awesome post!
ReplyDeleteThis is right up my farm girl alley! Looks like what my grandma would have made! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful to hear. I loved it.
DeleteFried okra is the only way to go!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm....I've never cooked okra this way. Great idea! This sounds delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me how much I love pan-fried ham. Time to get out the skillet!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Do you still have leftover ham? I stuck the ham-bone in with leftover veggies and make stock last night.
DeleteOh wow, the gravy is really just reduced coffee!??
ReplyDeleteApparently! It was delicious for my coffee-loving self. My two kids thought it was too strong.
DeleteI haven't had okra in years! YUM!!
