Pan-Fried Gammon with Caramelised Pineapple
This is a modern twist on an old favourite. Gammon and pineapple is seen as rather dated, but the saltiness of the meat with the sweet fruit is a classic combination.
- Preparation time: 5 minutes
- Cooking time: 15 minutes
-
Total time:
20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 25g butter
- 2 queen pineapples, peeled and each cut into 8 wedges
- 4 smoked gammon steaks, rind removed
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
- Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan, then add the pineapple and gammon (you may need to do this in batches). Cook over a high heat for 1 minute, then sprinkle the sugar over the pineapple. Cook for a further minute, then turn the pineapple and gammon steaks.
- Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until the gammon is cooked and the pineapple is golden and caramelised. Remove from the pan and arrange on warmed serving plates.
- Stir the mustard and orange juice and zest into the pan, season and bubble for a few seconds. Spoon the mixture over the gammon and pineapple. Serve at once with creamy mashed potato.
