It has been over three years since I started posting recipes on Swedish Chef - it doesn't seem possible. In that time, I have been amazed by the number of visits to my blog from all over the world. I am not exactly sure how so many of my followers found me, but I am so pleased that you did.

I hope that I have offered a variety of easy and delicious recipes for you. I look forward to another year of easy, affordable, and delicious cuisine. If you would like to request a recipe, please contact me via email.

Thank you,

Creamed Curried Ham & Peas Over Biscuits


If you are trying to think of some creative ways to use that Easter ham for leftovers, you may want to try this recipe.  It is very easy and extremely tasty.



Ingredients:

8 T. butter
½ c. flour
2 - 2½ c. milk
1 T. fresh thyme
½ t. curry powder
1 t. salt
½ t. black pepper
2 c. cubed ham
15 oz. can peas, drained



In a large saucepan, melt butter.  Add flour and stir until flour and butter are combined, about two or three minutes. 


Slowly add 2 cups of milk.  Reserve one half cup of milk to thin the mixture if you think it is too thick.




Add thyme leaves, curry powder, salt and pepper.  (You may want to add more salt, depending on your taste.  However, due to the salt from the ham, start with one teaspoon).





Add ham and peas.  Stir over medium heat until mixture is completely warmed through.


Serve over hot biscuits.  In this demonstration, we used Bisquick.  You can use any store-bought biscuit or your favorite biscuit recipe.
