King Sue turns leftovers into tasty dishes

MANILA, Philippines - Wondering what to do with all that food that’s been sitting in the fridge? Get creative with the help of King Sue Ham & Sausage Co. Inc., makers of quality meat products like ham and sausages for the past 85 years.

• With leftover ham you can prepare a quick carbonara dish by tossing together cubed ham, chopped garlic, sliced onions and frozen peas into melted butter. Cook for one minute; stir in all-purpose cream and add cooked pasta. Cook for another three minutes until it’s done. Or include leftover ham in quesadillas, fresh vegetable salad, creamy chicken and ham chowder, and as topping on homemade pizza and baked macaroni and cheese.

• Chorizo can turn an ordinary frittata into an omelet. Include vegetables like spinach and asparagus in the dish to make it healthier. Beat five eggs with Parmesan, salt and pepper. Sauté ingredients like onions, mushrooms, spinach, and chopped leftover chorizo in melted butter. Pour egg mixture and stir until the egg mixture has set on the bottom. Remove from heat and bake in the oven for five minutes.  

• A perfect dish for Hungarian sausages is potato and sausage soup. All you need are diced potatoes, chopped onion, diced tomatoes, bite-sized sausages, chicken stock and sour cream. In a deep pan, simmer all ingredients except for the sausages in chicken stock for 15 minutes. Add sausages and cook for another 10 minutes until potatoes are tender. Whisk in sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Aside from the signature ham, the company has expanded its product offerings to include Chorizo Bilbao, gourmet sausages, bacon, burgers, cold cuts, and Filipino favorites such as sisig, tocino and corned beef.
