Whole Gammon: Our favourite ingredients to cook at home
A whole gammon is the cured leg, sold raw and ready to cook. Simmer it first to cook it through and soften the salt, then finish it in a hot oven to colour the fat. One joint feeds a table hot and then covers sandwiches and salads for days.
Our Baked Gammon with Pineapple and Greens simmers it for an hour and a half, then bakes it with pineapple rings pressed into the scored fat. Prime Food cures Small Whole Gammon, 1kg to 1.2kg, and Whole Gammon Skin Off, 4.5kg to 5kg chilled, for bigger tables.
