Roast gammon joint - suggestions for side dishes please

[TheTecknician]

I normally go for fried eggs and chips but I fancy being a little more adventurous this time. I have some nice butcher's sausages (made with dried fruit as well as pork) and I'll make some roast potatoes too. I'm thinking of something savoury and cheesy such as cauliflower or broccoli cheese and carrots.

Thankyou.

My mum always used to do jacket potato and cauliflower cheese with gammon, the best!

Cauliflower cheese and braised red cabbage

Braised red cabbage.

Macaroni cheese and peas - there is no other way to have gammon

If you are feeling fancy drizzle some truffle oil on the macaroni cheese

Potatoes dauphinois or cauliflower cheese. We had roasties with ham and cauliflower cheese last week. Very scrumptious.

Oh was going to say cauliflower cheese or braised carrots with orange.Yum.

Cauliflower cheese getting plenty of approval. It's years since I've had it.

These exotic sausages made with dried fruit are called 'Askwith', named for the village near Otley in West Yorkshire.

I usually do a joint of gammon for family sunday lunches - I do a cheesy type dish either macaroni or cauliflower with baked potatoes, or dauphinoise potatoes with a few different types of veg. I always think it needs something moist with it rather than dry.

I was also going to say cauliflower cheese.

Yes cauliflower cheese goes super well with gammon. Personally I also think peas go very well.

cauliflower cheese obviously.

I usually make a tray of roast new potatoes with loads of fresh rosemary, oil, salt and whole cloves of garlic

Brandied apricots and duchess potatoes

Mashed potato, braised red cabbage.

We like new potatoes with skin on., mushy peas and pickled onions.
Also live about 10 miles from Askwith.

My mother in law cooks her gammon in coke with cloves poked all over the top. It's pretty amazing. Finished off in the oven gives a lovely glaze

I like potato day dauphinois. The cheesy creamy garlicky sauce goes well with gammon.

Totally agree!

I don’t know where the “day” came from! Ignore that.

Sausages and gammon?

We either have mash, cheese sauce and peas or dauphinois and peas.

Boxing Day it suddenly becomes ham and we have ham, duck egg and chips

Dauphinois potatoes, macaroni cheese, or cheese and mustard mash. Possibly honey roast carrots, usually broccoli as my middle child adores the stuff.

Now I want gammon. Bums.

Dauphinois and puy lentils.

Ratatouille, new potatoes and green beans/mangetout mix is a favourite with a gammon joint in our family.

Thankyou all. How popular gammon is. I was lucky enough to buy a big joint in the reduced section in Morrison's. £8 from £12. Should last a while!

It's really nice with ratatouille

Also sauerkraut and dauphinoise potatoes

Another vote for potato dauphinois here! Yummy.
