Beetree
one of mine is Ham Stew.
Boil a Piece of Gammon until cooked about 20 minutes a lb. Keep the water it was boiled in this is the base and the stock
one cup of Split Peas soaked overnight
6 sticks of Cerlery Chopped
1 Onion Chopped
6 Carrots Chopped
1 sprig of Thyme
add the vegetables and the soaked Split peas to the Stock Water and simmer away stirring to keep it sticking. When the cooked ham is cold Shred the Meat not cut, and put it back into the Pot with the other Veggies you will not use all but you can make a dinner or tea with the left overs of the Ham
Simmer dor around 2.5 hours strirring occasionally. The Split peas will go thick when cooked,. Thats it i do enough in this pot for two days dinners for two people.i make a suet dumpling to have with it nothing else is needed to make a whole meal.
Dumplings
Use Self Rasing Flour one Cup one teaspoon baking powder,
Pinch of Salt and Pepper
quarter cup of beef Suet, Mix dry stuff together then make a dough with cold water make small rounds and let stand fotr 30 minutes in the Fridge, 30 minutes before finishing the Stew add to the pot and simmer . A really tasty thick stew full of Ham and the good old Dumpling which comes out very light No potatoes needs to be added you will not get through the Dinner
By the way i have Irish in My veins and my family name is PATRICK

Thanks Steve! I know you claim to be chef of sorts, so I really want to try this, except please explain what a Gammon is, LOL
I really am saving these recipe's to try, but today my family is insisting on Corned Beef and Cabbage, boiled, New England style. I do like to add a mixture of stone ground mustard , horseradish and honey that I coat the brisket with and run it under the broiler to give a nice coating. Very tasty!
Patrick is a fine name! My DH and eldest son share this middle name!
Top O the morning to you!

Gammon is just a fancy name for a cut of the meat, I prefer but cannot get it over here in Belgium,
Ham joint on the bone, that is the best for this kind of Ham Stew, Or Pigs Trotters. Our Mum used to make it from those and in the mid 50's we were still using ration books in the UK. a Pigs Trotter was a luxury meal if you could get them any Bacon on the bone is great let it simmer away. If i was younger and i could afford to run a Cafe that meal would make me some money and i guarantee there would be no shortage of customers,
It is a great meal in it self, full of flavour and nothing better on a freezing cold day after dog training.
What i do is to make enough to freeze one meal for two people. I take it out of the freezer to the fridge where it thaws out. We get home from Dog training on a Sunday around 2 'O'Clock leave home at 8 O'Clock in the morning.
Dumplings are made and put in the Fridge, Get home from the dog club feed the dogs, then heat the Stew up drop in the Dumplings as it starts to simmer 30 minutes later a good tasty filling dinner
It takes three to five minutes to make dumplings, By the way Dad was a Chef, all 10 kids boys and girs had to learn to cook a full meal and of different things when kids which was good tuition for later life
You would be suprised what i could cook up in very way out places and from the little we caught off the land at times
