Another Installment From The Infirmary

 

I have just enough strength to cook for a few minutes before collapsing back on the sofa to watch football.  After a while, I get up and do a little more.  From time to time, I stumble downstairs to Lesley’s sick room and to see if she needs anything.  This is a great technique for making stews and soups.  Try this one:

 

Green Beans and Ham Stew

1 lb gristly country ham steak with lots of bone and fat attached

3 large onions, chopped
8 stalks celery, chopped
8 carrots, chopped

2 bell peppers, chopped

8 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups fat free chicken broth
3 lbs fresh green beans
1 28 oz can maters with juices

2 lbs fat free ham, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
Salt and pepper to taste


Brown ham steak in a 6-8 quart stockpot or Dutch oven.  Remove ham from pot and saute until soft onions, celery, bell pepper and carrots.  Add garlic and cook for a minute.  Add ham steak, maters and chicken broth, cover and cook for an hour.  Remove ham steak, and cut any remaining lean meat into small pieces after discarding anything nasty or boney. Add green beans and cook for another hour.  Add cubed ham and bring to a boil.  Cover and simmer for about an hour longer.  Adjust seasoning and serve.
