Thai Ham with Rice Balls

Ham from a Ham Hough (joint) cooked with onions, yellow and green peppers, plus tomato puree and Thai spice, with Korean style Basmati riceballs.

Cooking the ham joint is described elsewhere. The ham was stored for a few days in the fridge, in its jelly. I browned the onion in some olive oil, and added the strips of two half peppers. After ten minutes or so, I added the ham and jelly. After another ten minutes I added the tomato puree and about half a pint of boiling water. Stir occasionally, and simmer under glass for half an hour or so.

You might guess that the rice balls were created using an ice-cream scoop, and you would be right. Squeeze as much as you can into the scoop with the back of a spoon, before adding to the serving plate.
