Andy’s Devilish Ham Spread
Andy's Devilish Ham Spread
This recipe comes from a good friend, and Chef. I made this on 29 Mar 2022, and this is an excellent ham salad! A food processor or good blender is needed for this, and since I do not have a food processor, I used my electric meat grinder with the coarse plate, worked perfectly.
Equipment
- Food Processor / Blender / Meat Grinder , S blade for a processor, coarse plate (¼ in / 6 mm)
Ingredients
- 750 grams ham, roughly chopped, (1½ lb)
- 4-5 green olives, pitted
Binding Ingredients
- ⅓ cup mayo
- 56 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated, (2 oz)
- 56 grams crushed pineapple, drained, blotted dry with a paper towel, (2 oz)
- 1-2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, drained, blotted dry with a paper towel
- 1 tablespoon brown mustard
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce, I used Tabasco
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
Instructions
- I went with the Variants, and cup up some Canadian Bacon steaks and chopped some capers.
- Add the ham and olives to your food processor, or good blender, pulse in 1 second intervals until finely chopped. Or use a meat grinder which is my preference.
- In a mixing bowl, add all the Binding Ingredients.
- Mix together until well blended.
- Add the mixture to the chopped ham and mix together. If mixture seems to dry, just mix in another tablespoon at a time. Cover and place in the fridge to chill and blend the flavors for at least an hour or even overnight.
- Serve with crackers, as a sandwich filling, in a salad, or as an ingredient in other recipes that call for deviled ham.
Notes
For sandwiches, this is right about $1.50 per serving, so Fair cost.
Variants: 1. For those in Thailand, use Canadian Bacon Steaks from Makro in place of ham (this was by mistake but the taste is the same). 2. Use 1½ tablespoons of capers, drained and chopped, in place of olives.
I made this on 29 Mar 2022, used some variants, Canadian Bacon for the ham and capers in place of the olives. Excellent ham salad, enjoyed by the family in sandwiches This salad is highly recommended.
