Gammon steaks with pineapple
salsa & chips
EVERYDAY EASY
Serves 4
Ready in about 1 hour
1kg floury potatoes,
such as Maris Piper or
King Edward, peeled and
cut into chips
Low-calorie cooking spray
300g fresh pineapple
chunks, chopped into
smaller pieces
1 red chilli, deseeded and
finely sliced
½ red onion, finely diced
Juice of 1 lime
4 gammon steaks, visible
fat removed
400g thin-stemmed
broccoli
200g frozen peas
15g fresh mint, leaves
finely chopped
1 Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan
180°C/gas 6. Boil the chips for 3-4
minutes, then drain well. Spread
on a large, non-stick baking tray
(or use 2) in a single layer and spray
with low-calorie cooking spray.
Season and bake for 30-35 minutes,
turning halfway, or until golden.
2 Meanwhile, put the pineapple,
chilli and onion into a bowl. Stir
through the lime juice and season.
Set aside for the flavours to infuse.
3 About 7-8 minutes before the chips
are ready, place a large, non-stick
griddle or frying pan over a medium-
high heat. Spray the gammon steaks
with low-calorie cooking spray. Once
the griddle or frying pan is hot, cook
the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each
side, pressing them down while they
cook so they stay flat and cook evenly,
or until cooked through.
4 Boil the broccoli for 5 minutes,
adding the peas to the pan for the
last 3 minutes, then drain well. Stir
the mint through the salsa. Serve
the gammon steaks with the chips,
salsa and veg.
