Ingredients
- 150g gammon
- 100g chips
- 2 pineapple rings
- 100g peas
- 50g Cheddar cheese, grated
- 50g plain flour
- 100ml soya milk
- 2g salt
- 2g pepper
- 2g garlic powder
- 2g paprika
- 10ml olive oil
- 5ml Worcestershire sauce
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- On a baking tray, drizzle the chips with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and spread them out in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the gammon and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until it is browned and cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, warm the pineapple rings on medium heat until they become slightly caramelized, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- In the same pan used for the gammon, add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the soya milk until the mixture thickens. Add the grated Cheddar cheese, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Once the chips are ready, drizzle the cheesy garlic sauce over them.
- Boil or steam the peas until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve the gammon with the caramelized pineapple rings on top, accompanied by the cheesy garlic chips and a side of peas.
Tips
- For a crispier gammon, you can finish it off in the oven for 5 minutes.
- For an extra cheesy flavor, you can add more grated Cheddar to the chips in the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an added layer of flavor.
