Chef's Note & Story

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. Or look for packaged chopped cooked ham near packaged deli meats and bacon at your grocery store.

Pine nuts, which have a high fat content, can turn rancid quickly. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 months or in the freezer up to 9 months.
