Thread: Gammon

  1. #1

    Default Gammon

    I've just bought one of those small Gammon joints from tesco and have had a look through the internet of various ways of cooking it but i'm just wandering how you all like to cook them.

    Slowly, in a vacuum bag, in enough water to cover it and just below simmering for a few hours, in the bag you can have all sorts of flavours, I did one last week with honey, soy sauce and lemon juice and it was delicious.

    In saying that, I didn't use shop bought pork, but rather our own pork.

    Thank you Commore and Thumper . I had heard of people cooking it in cola before.. think Nigella Lawson is where i saw that one. Do you use cheap cola or the Coca-Cola?

    Oh I am hungry now!! I simmer mine in enough water to cover it, some cloves, black peppercorns, an onion, 2 bayleaves, for about an hour, then smear with brown sugar and mustard (either the powder or your preference of mustard), and put in oven, moderate heat for about 30 more mins. The cloves give it a lovely Christmassy feel, smells glorious as it simmers!! Sunday lunch sorted!!!!!

    Last time I did mine with cloves my other half threatened to divorce me!
    But you're right the cloves do give a warm Christmassy feel.

    Chop onions put in a large pan. Add gammon and cover with apple juice. Bring to boil then gently simmer until gammon is cooked. Thicken with cornflour or flour and butter and serve gammon sliced with potatoes and veg and sauce poured over. Mmmmmmmmm
