What's best with Gammon!

What sauce goes best with Gammon - I've seen people have parsley sauce with it (but I always associate that with fish) or just gravy (I like to make my own but I can't with Gammon). So any suggestions. Thinking of roasties and veg with it if that helps!! Thanks

Yesssssss.

🙌🙌🙌🙌

don’t know what’s wrong with some people 😂

I’ve just seen mushy peas suggested - they only live with fish and chips or top of a meat and tater pie with loads of gravy!

Cheese sauce, mash and peas or gammon (egg for the wrong uns in my family) and chips. No vegetables or sauce required.

I either boil it or Chuck it in the slow cooker. Can't be doing with gammon steaks any more by grill is a pita

Mashed tatties and cabbage

A wife called Linda who reads the Daily Mail. Or parsley sauce.

I do dauphinois potatoes with gammon as the creamy rich sauce works well with the salty gammon, and some greens of some sort.

MeinKraft · 25/03/2023 16:22

Creamy leek sauce

GiltEdges · 25/03/2023 16:23

Cheese sauce here. Or cauliflower cheese even better.

I sometimes do this. I've decided to do latkes tonight, with fried eggs.

Pineapple, fried egg and chips1👍

Thank you for the great suggestions - pineapples and cheese variants are getting a lot of love! So that's sorted, cauliflower cheese and charred pineapple rings. I would never have thought of apple sauce with it either and I love apple sauce so that's going on the side!

Thanks again!

Baked potatoes and cauliflower cheese are my favourite accompaniments to gammon.

I came here to say exactly that! Delicious!

Lordofthebutterfloofs · 25/03/2023 17:21

Ooh I will have to try these ideas 😁

We used to have it with chips and egg but that gives me indigestion. Now we have it with parsley sauce, mash and peas.

Loving the idea of cauliflower cheese and a spud, and mustard sauce with mash and veg.

Love a nice bit of gammon.

Rhombus79 · 25/03/2023 17:27

We always have sauerkraut with gammon and a mustardy sauce. But that is not everyone's cup of tea 😄

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 25/03/2023 17:57

Parsley sauce with lots of parsley, mashed potatoes, broccoli/purple sprouting or tender stem broccoli.

hmc39 · 25/03/2023 18:01

Peppercorn sauce is lovely with gammon, some veg, new potatoes etc!

Bemyclementine · 25/03/2023 18:05

Gammon steak? Or joint?

Steak - no sauce pineapple ring
Joint - something cheesy. New potato's, csuli/Leeks in cheese sauce. Peas.
