Last week I opened a pack of our smoked pork chops - not with the intention of cooking one chop each but I wanted to use them to add flavour to more meals.

Here is some recipe inspiration for quick to cook recipes and you can even use up left over Christmas ham!

Make a pot of chilli - adding a smoked pork chop to 1.5 lb each of ground pork and ground beef makes a great chilli!
Bacon and lentil soup - the smoked pork chop has the same flavour as our hickory smoked bacon so I cut the fat off the chop then rendered it in a pan. Add some chopped onion and a cup or so of lentils plus some pork or chicken stock. Bring to the boil, season and blitz up with an immersion blender. This was a very filling soup!
Ham and Pineapple Pizza - yes pineapple belongs on a pizza!
Ham and cheese Frittata
Ham and pineapple stir fried rice! We loved this and it’s a great way to use up odds and ends in the fridge!

All really easy and quick recipes that would also be great for using up leftover ham at Christmas!
