Don't Throw Out The Ham Bone!

Written by Alison Bell

For those that had a ham over Christmas, don't throw out the bone!!! There are so many options to use the ham bone in various bone broths, soups and stocks. Ham & Pea soup, ham and beans (the beans soak up all that salty ham flavour), traditional Chinese rice porridge (congee)... you can do almost anything!

INGREDIENTS

• leftover ham bone
• leftover ham fat and skin
• 1 onion, peeled and halved
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 large carrots, roughly chopped
• 2 bay leaves
• sprinkle of Italian dried herbs

METHOD

1. Place all ingredients into a slow cooker or stock pot
2. Cook on low, just below a simmer, for 8-12 hours
3. Strain liquid from the bone, fat and vegetables and store in fridge
4. Reheat to drink as you wish!!
