This hearty gammon dish makes a wonderful midweek supper, served with the garlicky, creamy root veg bake. Adding swede brings that extra colour too.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
Knob of butter
1 large onion, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
½ large swede (about 300g), peeled, quartered and thinly sliced
3 large potatoes (about 400g), thinly sliced
Large handful of fresh flatleaf parsley, finely chopped, plus extra for sprinkling
2 tbsp plain flour
200ml chicken stock, hot
Drizzle of double cream
40g grated Cheddar
4 smoked gammon steaks

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Heat half the oil and the butter in a frying pan and gently fry the onion for 10 minutes until soft and starting to colour. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool.
Add the swede, potatoes, parsley and flour to the bowl, season with plenty of salt and pepper, then toss well. Transfer to a large ovenproof dish, pour over the stock and cream, stir, then top with the cheese.
Bake for 40-50 minutes until tender and bubbling. A few minutes before the end, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the gammon steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Serve with the bake, sprinkled with chopped parsley.

Although this seems like a long cooking time, it’s all done in the oven so you get on with other things while it cooks, then cook the gammon at the last minute.
