Gammon with Pineapple Salsa

Gammon and Pineapple may seem unusual, but this is a fantastic mix of sweet and savoury.

Gammon with Pineapple Salsa

Ingredients

  • 1 large gammon steak
  • 1 teaspoon of oil
  • 1 teaspoon of clear honey
  • 100g of fresh pineapple
  • 1 large red chilli
  • 1 teaspoon of soft brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander

Method

  1. First, make the salsa. Mix together all of the ingredients (use 1⁄2 a chilli for a milder flavour, all of it for a pungent one). Set aside while you cook the gammon.
  2. Heat the grill for 3 mins. Use a thin-bladed knife to slice the gammon into 2 steaks, then snip the rind every 2-3cm. Lightly brush with oil. Grill for about 3 mins each side until just firm, then brush over the honey on one side and cook for 1 min more. Remove and leave to stand for 2-3 mins.
  3. Serve the gammon with the salsa spooned over the top. Good with a chicory salad or green beans and chunky-cut chips.
