GAMMON WITH CHEESE AND PEACHES

[SPEEDTRIPLE]

Hi all,

 

i saw this advertised on "the daily specials" board in one of our favourite local pub restaurants, so decided to try and make it myself. I did`nt have it in the pub, but i worked out how i would do it, and tried it tonight, and it was a success.

 

It`s a pretty simple thing with very little in ingrediants.

 Per gammon  ttake,

 

1 - 11/2 oz of grated cheese ( i used a mixture of Double Gloucester, and low fat medium cheddar, any mixture of your choice can be used)

 

2 tinned peach halves, finely chopped

 

1 teaspoon dried chopped chives (or amount to taste

 

1 large gammon steak

 

Method,

 

Mix the grated cheese, finely chopped peach halves, and chives together in a bowl

 

Grill the gammon to your prefered taste.

 

sprinkle the cheese / peach / and chive mix onto the gammon, and grill under a low heat till cheese has melted to your taste.

 

Serve with sauted potatoes and veg of your choice.

 

 

 

I tried this for the first time tonight and we both thouroughly enjoyed it, as it makes a nice change to the regular gammon and pineapple or fried egg.

Sounds wrong. But right!

Hi Neil,

 

It sounds good, but for me I would have to loose the chives (Tan would be ok with them or substituted spring onions) to give the topping some extra bite I would include some blue cheese, blue Shropshire or Stilton.

 

I totally agree that a mixture of cheeses gives any recipe added flavour.

Sounds delicious. I especially like the idea of using blue cheese.

Yes, next time i do it, i`m thinking about Stilton, or possibly keeping it local, and trying Dorset Blue Vinny.

 

I totally agree with Baitrunner too, it does`nt exactly sound right, but it works.

 

Spring onions sounds good to Alan (RB), so i`l think about that, and it should go well with stilton.

Now that is different. But definitely worth a try if I come along it.
