00:03well hello there folks and a very warm welcome as usual back to what's for tea and it's lovely
00:09to see you all again and i hope that i find you very well and tonight for tea i made
00:14this very
00:14simple and i mean very simple and i did debate whether i was going to film this or not just
00:19because it is so easy but it's delicious so i decided just to film it anyway so this is gammon
00:25or ham and i'll just show you what i've used and i've also used some potatoes and cabbage as well
00:32but this is what you're going to need for the ham or what i used for the ham so i've
00:37got some water
00:37there i've also got a smoked gammon or ham joint i've got a few carrots and then just a few
00:43bay leaves
00:44as well so this was my gammon here this one was from morrison's it's just their standard smoked
00:50gammon joint and if there's any binding you know film or string or anything around your gammon just
00:56make sure you snip this off just take this off completely and then into the bottom of the slow
01:02cooker i've got a few carrots just to make sure that the gammon isn't sitting directly in the bottom
01:07of your crock pot or slow cooker so pop your ham or your gammon on top of your carrots and
01:14then
01:15around the edge you want to pop your water don't pour this directly over the gammon because we just
01:20want to steam it really we just want to create steam in there so you don't need much water a
01:25few
01:26optional bay leaves pop your lid on and give this about five or six hours on low this will depend
01:32on
01:32the size of your joint of meat mine took around about five hours and this was me when it was
01:39ready
01:40now i'm going to set this to the side for about half an hour i'm just going to lightly wrap
01:44this in foil to relax and it will firm up a wee bit and make it much easier to cut
01:50as well so into
01:51foil for about half an hour while you get your cabbage and your tatties done so i'm going to make
01:56steamed cabbage and boiled potatoes to go along with this so i'm just going to take the outer leaves
02:02off of the cabbage because they tend to be a bit gnarly then i'm going to split my cabbage down
02:07the
02:07middle and then just slice this or shred this make sure you remove the heart or the core because that
02:13tends to be very hard and now i'm going to do the tatties i like to use maris pipers just
02:19because
02:19they're nice and dry and flowery so i'm using about six medium potatoes you just want to peel them
02:25and rinse them and then either half or quarter them depending on the size of your potatoes get these
02:32into a little cold water and bring this up to the boil and then i like to add some boiling
02:38water once
02:39they're boiling because if you try and boil a whole pan of cold water it takes forever and a day
02:45so
02:45i've just started doing it this way now add a dash of salt when they're simmering and let those simmer
02:51away for about 15 to 20 minutes until they're tender and another pan you want to do exactly the same
02:57with your cabbage just a little cold water to get it going get that up to the boil and then
03:04once it's
03:04boiling i like to top it up with some more boiling water and then just add another dash of salt
03:11if
03:11you like and then just the same as the tatties let this simmer away until it's tender so i'm going
03:17to melt down some butter then i'm going to add some fresh parsley which we're just going to drizzle on
03:22the potatoes when they're cooked so just add your parsley to the melted butter i just melt this
03:27in the microwave so check your potatoes and if they are nice and tender you can just drain
03:32your water away and they'll should be nice and dry and i'm just going to drizzle over my melted butter
03:38and parsley just do this nice and slowly to make sure they're all evenly coated just like this and
03:45then i'm going to pop my pan lid on and let them sit for a minute or so just to
03:49let all that butter
03:50soak in whilst you're waiting you can go and check your cabbage and this should be nice and tender by
03:55now
03:56give it a bit longer if you like really soft cabbage drain the water out and i like to go
04:01through
04:01mine with a knife just to chop it up a wee bit finer but you can you know leave it
04:05a hole if you like or
04:07chop it up as finely as you like and then the last thing i'm going to do is add a
04:11knob of butter and i
04:12also like to add some white pepper as well has to be white pepper though not black pepper i don't
04:18know
04:18why white pepper just works really well in this so stir through your butter until it's all melted
04:25throughout your cabbage and then add the pepper and give this a good stir through as well add as
04:31much pepper as you like you might not want a whole teaspoon i like mine really peppery so i've added
04:37a
04:37whole teaspoon you can either slice your ham straight down like this or turn the ham on its side like
04:43this if you find it easier to cut this one cut really easy so i just stood this up on
04:49its end and as you
04:50see you've got some lovely thick slices there so just keep going until you have as many slices
04:56as you need and if you don't have a slow cooker you can still make this on the stovetop just
05:02with a
05:02couple of changes so for this size of joint which is about 750 grams or a pound and a half
05:09it will take
05:09you about an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes to boil plus the half hour to
05:15rest so
05:15just boil this cover it in water completely and just let it simmer away for about an hour and 15
05:21minutes to an hour and 30 minutes leave the binding on you know don't take it off do leave it
05:26on because
05:27there's going to be more movement in the pan so you do want to keep any binding on that's on
05:32your
05:32meat but other than that you can do this on the stovetop as well so do let me know if
05:38you're planning
05:38on giving this one a go it's really really delicious and any leftovers that you will inevitably have
05:44will be great for sandwiches or rolls or anything you know throughout the week so thank you so much
