Grilled Ham with Red Eye Glaze
Pasta with Red Bean and Herbs

Cooking time: 25 minutes for menu      Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     When I lived in the U.S. I loved smoked pork chops - so substitute those if you like. With it, a simple pasta dish, with some beans and whatever herbs are in the garden or fridge.

Grilled Ham with Red Eye Glaze

Total time: 15 minutes
    A Southern Classic, moved to the barbecue grill.  The glazed is boiled to reduce it a bit, then used both to baste the ham and as a finishing sauce.  As the ham is already fully cooked, this is a very quick dish.
