What to have with gammon on Boxing Day?

[GreenSpace00]

We’re hosting my OH’s family for the first time. Normally we would just have chocolate and left overs!

Any ideas?

Potato Dauphinoise and green beans

Green vegetables
Cheese sauce or parsley sauce
Jacket potatoes or roast potatoes

Cauliflower cheese
Roast potatoes or mash
Green veg

Do you want another roast or rather go down the chips egg and peas or salad route? We'll often have a gammon salad, things like coleslaw, boiled egg, potato salad all go well with gammon and would be easy to knock together and self serve

Go cold. Cheese, bread, chutney.

Cauliflower and broccoli cheese
Roasties
Chips and egg
Salad and dips

My Mum’s fried chips, a fried egg with a runny yolk & plenty of piccalilli & pickle. A Boxing Day treat we’ve had to shelve for the past 2 years. Ruddy Covid lol.

Homemade coleslaw
Mash
Other pickles and chutneys

Denfinitely something ‘saucy’ as an accompaniment as others have mentioned, such as cauli cheese or dauphinois potatoes. Fennel gratin would be good too.

Baked potatoes, celeriac remoulade and salad would also work.

Fried eggs and chips.

Baked potatoes with crispy skin and lots of butter and leeks in cheese sauce.

We have chips and this Crisp Winter Slaw, a bbc recipe which is so tasty. www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/crisp_winter_slaw_58247

We have it cold with cold roast beef and turkey, bubble and squeak, mash, cheeses, pickles and chutneys. It’s my favourite meal.

We have gammon Boxing Day too!

I slow cook it.

Serve with veg sticks, salad, coleslaw and chips, boiled eggs, pineapple rings.

Also have the cheeseboard out.

Make it in to a pie. We do it with left over turkey in there too.

I'm doing mash, cauliflower cheese and green beans with mine.

Gammon says roast potatoes, red cabbage and sweetcorn to me.

Pour a cup of water over the meat before putting it in the oven. Once it's finished add sour creme to the meat juices left in the pan for a deliciously savoury creme sauce.

Roast potatoes, sweet potatoes mashed, green beans and apple sauce.

Cold meat, mash & pickles

Dauphinoise potatoes
Green beans
Mustard

Potato Dauphinoise and green beans

Yes, another person who knows what is to be done with gammon

Bubble and Squeak from any left over Christmas dinner

I always do gammon on Christmas Eve, and this is fab with it (with salad or green veg on the side.):

We have mashed potato, savoy cabbage and gravy with ours. It's my favourite meal of the Christmas period (apart from Christmas dinner)

Oh you need roasties cauliflower cheese and pickles.
