What to serve with Gammon?

SmlSave

Thanks everyone

I sloshed a bit of jack Daniels on mine this weekend :eek: oh but it cooked very nice.

I finished it in the oven with a touch of honey brushed over. My littlies had it with mash, peas and sweetcorn. And a Yorkshire pud for DS. I had some in my lunch today with chicken and salad which was very nice too!

I do my gammon as a full roast on day one

Day two will be bubble and squeak and gammon ( using the left over veggies, cook extra on day one)

Then ham egg and chips

Then bits in a quiche

And the original stock will make lentil and ham soup for at least eight portions


One of the most versatile and economical pieces of meat imho

We always do our gammon in coke in the slow cooker then finish it off in the oven drizzled with honey and with pineapple on top. I normally serve it with steamed veg and cheese sauce.

Just curious, but has it always been usual to have gammon as a roast in some families/parts of the country?

I notice they do it in carveries and on school meals menus in recent years.

When I was a child we never had gammon with gravy, always parsley sauce or cold cuts.

Is it a new thing to keep costs down do you think?

This week we have had a gammon dinner, then gammon and pea soup, gammon and mushrooms and cheese on toast, gammon and king prawn stirfry, 2x gammon quiches, and I have enough left to do gammon and egg or gammon and cauliflower cheese tomorrow night.

It will have made 16 main meals and 16 lunches :j Gammon is one of the best meats to stretch out

We always had it as children so it isn't a new thing. It could be a Northern thing I guess.

I've only ever bought gammon as steaks but would like to give a joint in the slow cooker a go. Just going to see how the kids like it in coke as they are funny eaters

It's well worth buying a joint (about £4 per kg in Aldi or Lidl). Eevn if you use it to make sandwiches, it's hugely cheaper and tastier than buying cooked ham. It freezes beautifully too.

I shop at tesco so I've had a quick look online at what's available. Looking forward to trying it
