Hi All
Got a bargain over the coop the other night a big 750g pack of turkey thin wafer ham reduced for £2 odd to 10p - brought it with all good intentions to freeze, but realised i already have a pack in tehre and now have no idea what to do with this.
It needs using asap - i brought it saturday, it 'technically' went off sunday so i need to really use it tomorrow if i can. Im plannign on havign an omelette tonight with some in but need ideas for the rest please.
Have the basics in - plain flour, self raising flour, eggs and other bits and bobs. Ideas please!!! (btw bf wont eat quiche)

Give it to a pet.
Processed meat, full of additives like that is no good no matter how cheap it is.0 -
slice it into ribbons and add to pasta with a sauce, either tomato based or a carbonara type
slice in squares and top pizza with it?

We sometimes have it mixed with pasta, fried onion, veg and have loads of grated cheese on top. Or do it with fried onion and courgette with pasta in a cheesy sauce as a bake.
You could use some chopped up with veg or cheese as a filling for something like a sausage roll.
Add to a potato salad, with cherry toms?

am sure i saw a recipe once where you roll out pastry and spread tomato chutney or whatever, then some grated cheese then lay the ham on top, roll up like a swiss roll and cut in slices and lay on a baking tray and bake, you could leave out the cheese i suppose if you didnt have any0

Ooh, puff pastry or even bread dough - savoury pinwheels! Yum - well done Twink, I just need to find a bargain pack of ham like the lucky OP

As others have mentioned savoury pinwheels are hard to beat. What about using it in a quiche?

Sammy, I'm afraid I'm a bit picky about meat that is past its BB date. If it's technically 'off' as of Sunday I would exercise caution.

Put ham in food processor or blender with a good dollop of pesto. Delicious as a stuffing for hollowed out baked potatoes, tomatoes, or - more sophisticated: artichoke bottoms."Remember that many of the things you have now you could once only dream of" - Epicurus0

But quite true - might look, smell and even taste (a bit) like ham, but it's not.
