What can I make with tinned meat?

carriel_2

I've just found two tins of meat, probably from last years christmas hamper & they are going out of date on Tuesday.

I have no idea what to make with them, I dont really fancy it in a sandwich, anyone have any ideas?

I have plenty of things in the cupboard/freezer that I can use with them, but dont know what would work?

They are small tims, on is Ye Olde Oak chopped ham & pork & the other is chicken & ham roll.

Thank you.

When I was younger my grandma always used to buy these sort of tins - hang-up from the rationing I think

Anyway... from what I remember it is very nice sliced and battered, like a burger. So you could serve it with wedges, salad and crusty bread.

And don't worry about them going out of date suddenly, next week. This is a precaution and legal requirement by the company. they'll be fine to keep in the cupboard if you don't fancy them all within 2 days.

I also agree with mink - very nice fried and not at all fattening if you get someone else to make it

You could cut them into small cubes and use in an omelette.

Or make them into sandwiches - then put in ovenproof dish - pour a couple of beaten eggs and grated cheese over them - bake in med oven for 20 mins or till golden colour.

The ham would be nice cut into small bits and used in a quiche instead of bacon.
The chicken and ham, cubed, in a pie with mushrooms, onions and peppers with white sauce.

Just slice them up with salad, pickles and chips - that's what I'd do. Or have in bread rolls with a bit of thin sliced onion and maybe a lettuce leaf/cucumber slices.

If you don't want 'em, I'll have 'em .

They would make very good stovies!

I used to use tinned meat cut into chunks in a white sauce with sweetcorn and poured over pasta - very yum.

Wow! So many replies, thank you.

there's some great ideas, I didnt even consider a quiche, I think I'll do that tomorrow.

still not sure what to do with the other tin, the sarnies in the overn with egg & cheese sound delish, i've never had anything like that.

Thank you everyone, you are all so helpful :T

The ham could be used in a leek and ham pie. Fry the leek gently until soft, add the ham and a thickish white sauce, top with shortcrust pastry.
