Gammon Steak

28 replies

Noneofourbusiness · 29/02/2024 14:49

Thinking about making gammon steaks tonight for dinner. I've had a look on Google and it's pretty much the same old, gammon, peas,egg,pineapple, chips combo. I do love that usually as its good comfort food. But tonight, I would like to step outside my comfort zone and throw caution to the wind Grin

Has anyone got any good ideas on how, I can up my game with gammon steaks

Dauphanise potatos and asparagus or green beans?

nugnugnugs · 29/02/2024 14:52

Parsley sauce, mash and veg. No contest.

BBC good food have a great recipe for gammon grills with cauliflower cheese on top (google it and it comes up easily). That is lovely with a dark green leaf salad and some crusty bread.

Interested in this thread?

Oh these all sound really great. I've never made parsley sauce or Dauphine potatoes before. Will have a look at how to make them. Oh it's going to be exciting times in my kitchen tonight!🤣

I'm vegetarian but my mum has also always served it with parsley sauce, and probably new potatoes and some sort of greens.

Gammon = cauliflower cheese.

That's all

Noneofourbusiness · 29/02/2024 15:18

Just looked up parsley sauce. Looks easy enough, just white sauce with some parsley bunged in Grin on the fence about dauphine potatoes or new potatoes.

My favourite ever meal when I was a kid was gammon steak, jacket potato with butter and broad beans in parsley sauce! It's a lovely combination!

Instead of plain pineapple, what about salsa to add zing and spice things up?

Finely chop the pineapple or you could use mango instead. Add some chopped spring onions or purple onion. Squeeze of lime, salt/pepper and stir.
Optional extras pending taste/spiciness:

  • dried chilli flakes or fresh chilli
  • coriander
  • avodado
  • cherry tomatoes

I like to pour a bit of pineapple juice on it then stick in oven then about half way stick the pineapple rings on and a load of cheese

Parsley sauce is the work of the devil 👹If you're Ok making white sauce, then bung a teaspoon of english mustard and obscene amount of cheese in it

Enko · 29/02/2024 17:12

I know I am too late for this but water cress is really good with gammon steaks the peppery flavour with the salt of the gammon is a delicious combination.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 29/02/2024 17:20

Gammon with lots of lovely creamy mashed potatoes and parsley sauce is food of the gods.

It’ll usually be a gammon joint here, but would also work with steaks.

You need lots of finely chopped parsley, plus salt and pepper, and it needs to simmer for a while to get the flavour.

Leftover gammon joint for dinner this evening. Serving it with cauli/broccoli macaroni cheese.

Snugglemonkey · 29/02/2024 17:44

It is nice done hinter style with bbq sauce smothered on and topped with cheese.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 29/02/2024 17:49

I really like parsley sauce, used to ask to have it on my dinner too when I was a teen and family had gammon.

Both parsley sauce and broad beans are utterly vile.

Noneofourbusiness · 29/02/2024 18:10

@cardibach Maybe for you, but I like it! Wouldn't do for us all to like the same thing! 🤷‍♀️

yeahiknoww · 29/02/2024 20:40

Love gammon steaks with pineapple.

Cant remember the last time I had gammon steaks actually because DH doesn't like them. Think I'll need to buy some next time I am at the shops.
