Ham Pie Sandwiches: October 2014

http://hampiesandwiches.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Fennel pickle with lemon and ginger. So remember the fennel and orange pickle. I made this summer? How about a fennel, lemon, and ginger pickle too? The only correct answer is YES. This refrigerator pickle is crispy, crunchy, tangy, and bright. It's super easy to make and so, so good on practically any sandwich you can think of. Okay, you might not want it on a classic peanut butter and jelly, but otherwise? Putting together a cheese platter? Fennel pickle with lemon and ginger. 1 tsp pickling salt.

Radish and dill compound butter ~ Ham Pie Sandwiches

http://hampiesandwiches.blogspot.com/2015/07/radish-and-dill-compound-butter.html

Radish and dill compound butter. Radishes, butter, and salt are one of the most classic food combinations out there. This is one of those recipes you can adjust to suit your tastes. Do you like lots of crunch and spice? Add more radish. Do you want all the dill? Add more dill. You're going to be spreading this on bread anyway - a fairly neutral palette - so I recommend going for large amounts and strong flavors. Radish and dill compound butter. 2-3 radishes (3 tbsp grated). 1 1/2 tbsp fresh dill. John an...

Ham Pie Sandwiches: January 2015

http://hampiesandwiches.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Chicken and vegetables veloute. After a roof leak, a furnace replacement, a refrigerator breakdown, an influx of mold, and many bouts of sneezing, all within the past six weeks, I was more than ready to eat some serious comfort food last weekend. If you are currently buried in snow, you will definitely want some too. We adapted this from a Jacques Pepin and Julia Child recipe for chicken pot pie, which in itself is clearly a totally classic basic. Instead of making a pastry crust, we decided to toss ...

First garden green beans of the year ~ Ham Pie Sandwiches

http://hampiesandwiches.blogspot.com/2015/07/first-garden-green-beans-of-year.html

First garden green beans of the year. I planted a truly massive amount of green bush beans this year. We had the garden space, and can basically never get enough beans, so why not? Besides, after the moles killed multiple jalapeño plants and a tomato plant, I figured that more plants equaled a better chance of actually getting a crop. For my first foray into homegrown green bean cooking, I went super simple. What better way is there to eat beans than sauteed with butter and garlic? When the beans are don...

Ham Pie Sandwiches: September 2014

http://hampiesandwiches.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

You guys, these may very well be the brownies you've been looking for. This is a variation on Deb of Smitten Kitchen's best cocoa brownies. Now, I have made these brownies as written, and I did not find them to be to my taste. You'd think a stick of butter would do it! Okay I also had a jar of coconut oil hanging out in the pantry for several years. Coconut oil is delicious, rich, and available, so I thought I'd see what I could do with it. 5 tbsp coconut oil. 5 tbsp vegetable oil. 1 1/4 cups sugar.

Ham Pie Sandwiches: February 2015

http://hampiesandwiches.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Simple ravioli soup with handfuls of herbs. Because you can't just make one thing with a big bunch of dill. And since egg salad. Is not exactly the optimal thing to eat in winter (not to say that stopped us), I went on the lookout for more ways to use up my bountiful dill. The answer? Well, besides some very dilly schmears. And a few simple salads. A soup seemed like a really good idea. All you'd need to do is adjust the type of herb and the broth for optimal flavor combinations. Shrimp ravioli? Use pars...

Ham Pie Sandwiches: August 2015

I've been wanting to make bagel panzanella for several months. Now that the best summer tomatoes are here, it is time. Oh man, is it time. You almost certainly know my love of bagels. Bagels are wonderful. Bagels are delicious. Bagels are the best breakfast on a holiday morning. You can put anything on a bagel. And while I usually discuss my love of bagels through a series of various. Panzanella. And so bagel panzanella was born. 1 savory bagel to make 2-3 cups cubed bread. 1 1/2 cups chopped cucumber.
