Equipment

Ingredients

  • 200 grams Chips Use oven chips or make your own air-fried chips
  • 2 Gammon Steaks
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 8 Small Vine Tomatoes
  • 4 Pineapple Rings We used tinned
  • 1 teaspoon Light Brown Sugar
  • 160 grams Peas
  • 2 Eggs we used duck eggs

To serve

Instructions

  • Cook 200 grams Chips in your favourite way. We cooked our homemade air fryer chips, but oven chips / frozen chips cooked on a baking tray is fine too!
    15 minutes before the chips are cooked start cooking the rest of the meal.
    200 grams Chips
    Air fried chips on a silver slotted ladle.
  • Snip incisions into the rind and fat layer of the 2 Gammon Steaks. This step prevents the gammon from curling up during cooking.

  • Place only ½ tablespoon of the 1 ½ tablespoon Olive Oil into a large frying pan, heat over medium-high heat. Add the 2 Gammon Steaks and cook for 3-6 minutes on each side. (Time depends on thickness of gammon steak)

  • Meanwhile, place another ½ tablespoon of oil into a griddle pan (or another frying pan) on medium heat, add 8 Small Vine Tomatoes and 4 Pineapple Rings
    Optional - We like to sprinkle 1 teaspoon Light Brown Sugar on both sides of the pineapple to give them a caramelised finish.
