“I do not like Green Eggs and Ham, I do not Like them Sam-I-am.”
"Try them, try them, and you
may! Try them and you may, I say."
"Say! I like green eggs and
ham! I do!! I like them, Sam-I-am!"
---- Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss
This
is my favorite Dr. Seuss book, probably because it was my final assignment to
present the book entirely in sign language for my Sign Language Class in
college.
So
Try It! for the 112th Birthday of Dr Seuss!
Ham slices with Green Herb Paste
5 cloves garlic,
peeled
About 5 to 7
sprigs rosemary to yield 1/4 cup needles
1 handful of fresh
oregano, yielding 1/4 cup leaves
Coarse salt and
freshly ground pepper
2 to 3 Tbls. olive oil olive oil
½ tsp salt
1 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
Ham slices, bone
in is nice but not required
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to
325 degrees. To make the green-herb
paste, combine garlic, rosemary, oregano, in the bowl of a food
processor; pulse to combine. With machine running, add olive oil through feed
tube, and process until just combined but some texture still remains.
Green-herb paste can be made 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container,
refrigerated, until you're ready to cook the ham.
Spread the green herb paste reserving some to use after as a garish on the ham (both sides) and bake in the oven. If using a cured
pre-cooked slice of ham then you simply spread the paste on the ham and bake
until warmed through about 15 to 20 minutes depending on thickness. If it is an uncooked slice of ham you will
need to cook longer. Refer to your
packaging or butcher for more instruction, but you want the internal temperature
of the ham to reach 150 degrees.
Very nice, with love Janice
