My thoughts:

I dear coming upward with recipes using upward vacation leftovers! To endure honest, nosotros never host too thence I am nigh ever buying nutrient but to brand fun materials with the leftovers! It's operate a flake of hobby on its own, to endure honest. We aren't people who hear eating leftovers, nosotros unremarkably brand dinner for iv too thence nosotros tin bring the leftovers for tiffin the adjacent hateful solar daytime but repurposing them into something novel is too thence much to a greater extent than fun. For this recipe, I used a whole boneless smoked ham I bought at Costco. It's too thence slow to cube to role inwards other dishes but of course, yous tin role whatever leftover ham from whatever cut.

This recipe is super slow because let's endure honest, afterwards hosting, who wants to brand to a greater extent than or less other large elaborate meal? I used gnocchi I bought at Aldi but whatever supermarket or Italian grocery volition bring them. You tin also brand fresh gnocchi if you'd similar but the vacuumed pack ones are pretty adept too are fifty-fifty faster to educate than regular pasta. I dear watercress with ham too thence much (this egg salad with ham too watercress is to a greater extent than or less other bang-up Easter leftover recipe), it has a peppery seize with teeth that offsets the oft sweetness too really smoky ham. Peas are classic with ham too thence I added to a greater extent than or less I bought at Trader Joe's (in the fresh department) to larn inwards fifty-fifty to a greater extent than of a consummate meal.

Normally, I am non 1 to swallow gnocchi leftovers but (maybe because it wasn't homemade gnocchi too non saucy?) nosotros had to a greater extent than or less leftovers (of the leftovers, ha!) too they actually reheated well! I sauteed them inwards a skillet to reheat too they were quite tasty. Lightly browning the gnocchi adds a overnice toasty flavour too.
