Leftover Gammon

Hi soph,

I would cut it into a couple of smaller joints and freeze. When you want to cook one, boil it, then finish it off in the oven. Once it's been cooked the leftover gammon is fine to freeze a second time.

There is advice on cooking gammon here:

What to do with a Gammon Joint

Don't forget to save the stock for making soup, lots of recipes here:

Gammon stock

This thread has advice on using it for sandwiches

Ham economics

And finally use the leftovers to make a pie as a base for fried rice or risotto, for quiche, omelettes, pasta bakes, served cold with salad etc. This thread has many more ideas:

Leftover Gammon

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the ideas together.

Ham and pineapple pizza? I tend to thinly slice any left over meat and either put it on a pizza the next night or use it for luncheon meat. Gammon would be lovely on a pizza with pineapple or mushrooms.

My favourite is cheesy pasta and bacon with onions, Parmesan,peppers, garlic etc....

Then, you could do pea and ham soup with what's still left.

Omlettes; carbonara ; sliced in sandwiches; gammon, egg n chips; gammon curry; gammon enchiladas; gammon cold cuts with jacket potato and beans; gammon mixed with may and used as a jacket/sandwich filling with a green salad on the side; fried gammon sandwiches.
Freeze it (sliced or whole) and have it as a roast another day with roast potatoes/yorkies/veg/gravy. (Most cost effective because a roast is a more "substantial" meal than bitsof; especially as you have a half of it!)
Gammon/apple/onion/potato pie (cubed gammon, cubed apple, diced onion, mashed potato all mixed together then baked in the oven, until golden and crispy on the top).
Add cubed gammon to peppercorn sauce, top with mash, bake.
Gammon "toad-in-the-hole" (replace sausages with chucks of gammon).
Gammon salad (think ham salad)
Gammon quesadillas
Gammon pancakes (layer pancakes, white sauce with chopped gammon added, and make up like a lasagne)
Gammon lasagne (use gammon in white sauce and layer as above)
Gammon fritters (dip slices in batter and fry until golden - like spam fritters)
Gammon cutlets (mix chopped gammon with mash, coat in egg then breadcrumbs and fry until golden)
Sorry, thats all I can think of from the top of my head
