Ingredients And Procedures

Ham and coffee are the basis for red eye gravy, a Southern favorite. This is not for the faint of heart, but it sure is tasty. Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: * Country ham * Gano Classic black coffee Preparation: Red-eye gravy, requires first a good, well-cured country ham. Virginia hams are ideal for this. Take a slice of uncooked ham with most or much of the fat left on. Fry the ham in its own fat until nicely browned on both sides. This recipe will work with a non-stick pan, but for best results use a conventional 18/10 stainless steel pan to enhance the development of browning to the meat and pan. When it is cooked, transfer the ham to a warm platter and add boiling black Gano Classic coffee to the skillet, scraping to dissolve the particles that cling to the bottom and sides. That is red-eye gravy, which you pour over the ham and serve. The name “red-eye gravy” (sometimes referred to as “red-ham gravy”) derives from the fact that a circle or oval of liquid fat with a slightly reddish cast will form on the surface of the gravy when it is reduced. This is the root of the name. For more coffee recipes visit Super Coffee Cafe
