1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach

1 1/2 cups chopped fresh collard greens
OR
1 10-ounce package frozen collard greens
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
Crushed dry red pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup instant mashed potato flakes
2 ham steaks (1 to 1 1/2 pounds each), cut about 1-inch thick
1 1/2 cups water
Servings: 8
Mix together spinach, greens, onion, celery, red pepper, salt, and potato flakes. If necessary, trim ham steaks to fit into a 6-quart Presto pressure cooker. Pour water into pressure cooker. Place one ham steak on rack in pressure cooker. Spread spinach mixture evenly over the ham steak. Place the other ham steak on top of the spinach mixture. Close pressure cooker cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Cook for 5 minutes, at 15 pounds pressure, with regulator rocking slowly. Let pressure drop of its own accord. Remove ham to heated platter and slice.
Notes: If using frozen products, defrost and press to remove excess water.
One of the chief meat dishes of the early Virginia settlers, ham rapidly became a mainstay of Southern cuisine. It graced the tables of everyone from the humblest farmer to the most genteel landowner. Southern Stuffed Ham Steaks is an updated version of an authentic recipe developed in Charles County, Maryland over three hundred years ago. For real Southern hospitality, serve it with Hoppin' John, another American favorite featuring black-eyed peas and long grain rice.
