HAYMITCH-STYLE BOILED CABBAGE AND BURNT MEAT

SERVES 4

Haymitch cared more about drink than he did food. Granted, he had a lot of reasons to drown his thoughts, and he was used to an abundance of food. Katniss was assaulted by the smells of cabbage and burnt meat when she visited his unkempt home. Perhaps he’d recently eaten this dish.

You can use either red or green cabbage for this recipe. It’s a great use of leftover ham from another meal.

2 TABLESPOONS BUTTER

1 ONION, CHOPPED

1 SMALL HEAD CABBAGE, COARSELY CHOPPED

¼ CUP WATER

3 LARGE POTATOES, SCRUBBED AND SLICED

1 DASH SALT

2 CUPS CUBED, COOKED HAM

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onions in the butter until soft and translucent.

Add cabbage and stir. Add the water, cover and simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes, then add potatoes and salt, cover and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.

Allow to simmer, covered, for an additional 5–10 minutes, until cabbage is soft and potatoes are almost completely cooked and fork tender.

Add the ham to the cabbage and continue cooking until potatoes are done, about 10 minutes. Add more water if necessary and season to taste with salt.
