What sauce with leftover gammon?

On Boxing Day for lunch we're having leftover roast chicken & gammon (probably more gammon than chicken) with mashed potato & petit pois with bacon.

What sauce to go with? I don't think gravy will work with gammon.. would you do a parsley sauce? Or something else?

White sauce with parsley

Whatthefreakinwhatnow · 20/12/2016 15:16

Another cite for parsley sauce, it's amazing on gammon!

scurryfunge · 20/12/2016 15:18

Or a creamy mustard sauce?

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 20/12/2016 15:21

Parsley sauce, with LOTS of finely chopped parsley, not the measly 2 tablespoons I've sometimes seen in recipes.
And mash!

Any leftovers of sauce, little bits of gammon and mash go beautifully in an all-purpose soup.

Parsley sauce! If I were you I would make sure that the milk for the béchamel base is really really infused with a bouquet garni.

Boil the milk as early as you can with bay leaves a sprig of thyme, a clove studded onion, some parsley lots of black pepper and a carrot. Let the milk simmer for a little while then cool at room temperature. And use masses and masses of flat parsley.

BEANS! Heh. I so would, but in the interest of proper Xmas etiquette....
is it being served cold? In that case, chutneys - caramelised onion would be a good one. Pickled onions etc yum yum

ChocoChou · 20/12/2016 15:22

Ok sorry I just read the Op properly and you're having mash and peas... forget chutney (boooooo)

Cherylene · 20/12/2016 15:22

Delia's Cumberland sauce.

Onion sauce (ie white sauce with onion in it Wink )

Parsley sauce.

Onion marmalade.

Your favourite chutney/piccalilly.

I am not sure that I would put bacon with it though, since it is sort of bacon in the first place.

Cherylene · 20/12/2016 15:22

Bread sauce & cranberry fine too.

PollytheDolly · 20/12/2016 17:39

Pickles and chutney. There's some lovely stuff out there at the minute.

Natsku · 20/12/2016 17:45

Sauce for gammon? All you need is mustard.

Allalonenow · 20/12/2016 17:49

Whole grain creamy Mustard sauce, as it would work well with gammon and chicken.

GraciesMansion · 20/12/2016 18:21

Cheese sauce or a creamy apple sauce works really well.

rhuhbarb4 · 20/12/2016 18:24

I would actually have gravy but I'm weird like that Grin

LittleBoat · 20/12/2016 18:26

cheeeese!

crumble82 · 20/12/2016 18:27

Either a Cumberland sauce or a cheese sauce.

Madbengalmum · 20/12/2016 18:28

Well it is traditionally Cumberland sauce, but i do enjoy a bit of parsley sauce!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 20/12/2016 18:32

Delia's rum sauce with orange juice and raisins, it's a thing of beauty!

TheChineseChicken · 20/12/2016 18:53

Cauliflower cheese!!

AtleastitsnotMonday · 20/12/2016 20:14

Controversial I know but sticky pineapple crush!

Silvertap · 20/12/2016 20:23

Delias mustard sauce

littlemissneela · 20/12/2016 20:30

I would also suggest Delias Cumberland sauce as its just so delicious. Or parsley sauce, with fresh parsley would be really good too.

GooodMythicalMorning · 20/12/2016 20:31

Bread sauce

BlackIsTheNewBlack · 20/12/2016 22:03

Cheese! Yummy. I'm now fantasising about roast gammon and cauliflower cheese.
