Method
METHOD FOR THE GAMMON
- Massage a little oil into the gammon steaks
- Heat a griddle pan over high heat. When very hot grill the gammon steaks for 2-3 minutes each side creating a rich char & are thoroughly cooked
- Remove from the pan & top with the butter, leave to rest for a few minutes before serving
METHOD FOR THE PINEAPPLE
- Toast the spices together in a non stick fry pan until fragrant, add the molasses & orange juice then infuse for 5 minutes over medium heat before passing through a fine sieve & reserve (this can be done in advance)
- Rub a little oil into the pineapple then, in the same pan as you grilled the gammon, char the pineapple on one side for 3-4 minutes until rich & caramelised
- Next glaze the pineapple with the molasses syrup, brushing the glaze over the pineapple until rich & glossy
TO SERVE
Place a gammon steak on a warm plate then top with the glazed pineapple & a fried egg then finish with a small bunch of Pea shoots & homemade chips.
