Any ideas what I can make for tea? I have four gammon steaks in the fridge?!
Answers: and need to used those but dont feel like doing big lumps of meat tonight, any nice alternative recipes with the gammon?
Viking Gammon;
Take four medium sized tomatoes, cut in half and scoop out and discard the seeds; chop the flesh into a fine dice and season with a little pepper. Grill your gammon steaks on one side until nicely done, turn them over and continue cooking for a minute or two,then pile on the tomatoes and return to the grill. Now, grate some cheese..Cheddar or Double Gloucester or your own preference, about half an ounce per gammon steak. As the tomatoes begin to sizzle, take the steaks out from under the grill and heap the cheese on top, return to the grill until the cheese is bubbling and just beginning to brown.serve with baked potatoes and / or salad.
Gammon Chilli
discard the fat and rind from the gammon and then dice it and place in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for five minutes then drain and set the meat aside..this is to remove some of the salt. Fry a couple of thinly sliced onions in vegetable oil until soft, add the meat, a pinch of dried herbs and a half tea-spoon to a tea-spoon of chilli powder according to preference. The pour in a can of chopped tomatoes and their juice and bring to the boil, simmer gently for ten minutes and then add a well drained and rinsed can of red kidney beans; test for taste..if there is too little then you can always add a vegetable stock cube at this stage or even a can of baked beans which will also calm the heat a little if you want to do so; cover and allow the pan to cool for half an hour whilst you sort out the rice or french fries (Addictive with chilli) and salad if wanted. By now the flavors should have married and all you need to do is warm the chilli again and serve. I always have a dish of grated cheese on the table to sprinkle over the chili, especially with fries. I know that we usually make chilli with beef and kidney beans, but in mexico this was a peasant dish and you used whatever beans and meat you had on hand..far more likely to be pork than beef and just as likely to be pork that had been preserved in some way.
Bacon sandwich
Dice the meat and stir fry it with some mixed veg, onions and peppers. Boil some rice and add chicken stock cube ro two to the water you boil it in and then add rice once cooked and drained to the stir fried meat and veg. Add some soy sauce and serve hot. Delicious
