Felicity’s Cookbook, p. 14
1
pound smoked ham slice
½ cup
cold water
2
tablespoons fresh-brewed coffee
Cut the ham slice into serving-sized pieces.
We accidentally got compressed ham instead of real ham. But this was cheaper. |
Warm the skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the ham pieces and fry them over low heat.
Use a fork to turn over the ham pieces several times to
brown both sides evenly.
Degree of crispiness is left up to your discretion. |
Then use the fork to move the fried ham pieces onto a
serving plate.
Cover the plate with tinfoil to keep the ham warm.
If there is grease in the frying pan, pour it off into a
metal container. Leave the drippings that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.
To make the gravy, pour the cold water and coffee over the
drippings in the skillet.
Guard yourself! Cold water in a hot oiled skillet makes for some spectacular sizzling. |
Turn the heat to medium and stir the gravy mixture
constantly.
When the gravy begins to boil, or bubble quickly, turn off
the heat.
Remove the tinfoil from the serving plate.
Let it get a little flavor. |
Served with Bean Salad. (And don't judge my beverage. It's the champagne of beers, after all!) |
My Rating: 4/5 "The coffee gave a nice earthy undertone to the sweetness of the ham, but wasn't too overwhelming. A little on the salty side, but overall a unique flavor."
