What exactly is Gammon? Put simply its uncooked Ham. That's why my goddaughters refer to it as 'hot ham' when they have it for their tea. It goes well in a stew such as the campfire stew I make or is great as part of a roast dinner and the best part is the leftovers can be used for your packed lunch the next day as it makes the most delicious sandwiches.


Portions: 4-6
Ingredients
- 1kg Gammon (smoked or unsmoked depending on your tastes)
- 2 beef OXO cubes in 500ml of boiling water
- 2 diced carrots
- 3 medium onions (diced)
- 4 bay leaves
- Gravy Browning
- Cornflour/water mix or some gravy granules
Equipment
- Pressure Cooker
- Jug
- Saucepan
- Sieve
- Wooden Spoon
Instructions
- Add the chopped onions, carrot, bay leaves, OXO beef stock and a splash or gravy browning to the pot and give it a good stir

- Insert the gammon
- Pressure cook for 30 minutes

- Release the steam
- Set the gammon to one side to rest

- Place a sieve of a saucepan and pour in the liquid from the Ninja

- Discard the onions/carrot/bay leaves as all the flavour (along with the juices from the gammon) have been released in to the stock ready to make the most amazing gravy!
- Heat the saucepan up to a simmer and add a thickener such as a cornflour/water mix or some gravy granules
- Slice up the gammon and server with the gravy

Serving Suggestion(s)
Roast potatoes, mashed potatoes and vegetables go very well with this dish but at the time of cooking I had a leek leftover in the fridge that needed eating up so I had cheesy leeks with my gammon!
