So now that the fabulous world of local meat has opened its doors to me, Bugbear is demanding ham for Easter.

I'm fine with that.

But I don't know what to serve with it. I'm thinking peas with mint, as a side, and then after that I'm completely stuck.

What else should we eat?

And do you have any fabulous recipes for using up leftover ham that you'll share?

Whipped sweet potatoes?  Corn bread?

I love soup with ham and great northern beans.  I couldn't find the exact recipe I use, but it has chicken stock, beans, ham, onion, carrots, and a little tomato paste plus a few other things.  Delish!

Oh and I would have fresh bread of some sort with your meal for sure and maybe some parslied potatoes.  That's another simple, springy dish.  Enjoy!  I love peas with mint.

Roasted sweet potatoes with rosemary and garlic?

For leftovers you can make a soup with carrots, onions, tomatoes, white beans, and ham. Or a casserole with whole wheat noodles, veggies, and cheese.
