====Best recipe review====

''Nutty lentils!''

4.6/5 

Not a great fan of lentils, but with this dish they make a good pairing with the other strong flavours. A French pease-pud!

{{RecipeIngredients
| 1 small fresh [[Pineapple|pineapple]], ''If you really want to [[Cheat|cheat]], use canned [[Pineapple|pineapple]]''
| 4 [[gammon]] steaks
| 4 tablespoons [[muscovado sugar]] or [[Jaggery|jaggery]]
| 1 teaspoon [[mixed spice]]
| 1 teaspoon [[ground ginger]]
| 1 teaspoon [[chilli flakes]]
| [[Sea Salt|sea salt]] and freshly ground [[black pepper]] to taste

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
*Preheat the [[Grill|grill]].
*Peel and core the [[Pineapple|pineapple]] and cut into about 8 slices.
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Add the [[Spices|spices]], [[Sugar|sugar]] and seasoning to bowl and mix well.
| Use a [[Le Creuset]]-type dish as pictured or line a [[Grill|grill]] tray with [[Tin-foil|tin-foil]] and turn up the edges to catch the juices.
| Sit the [[gammon]] steaks on the [[Pineapple|pineapple]] slices, sprinkle with ½ of the [[Spices|spices]].
| [[Grill]] for 9 minutes.
| Turn the [[gammon]] steaks and [[Pineapple|pineapple]] slices over, sit the steaks on the pineapple, sprinkle with the remaining [[Spices|spices]] and [[Grill|grill]] this side for a further 9 minutes or until the [[gammon]] is properly cooked.
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[puy lentils]] or [[plain boiled rice|plain boiled rice]] and a green vegetable.
===Variations===
Go Chinese style, grind a [[star anise]], a teaspoon of [[Sechuan peppercorns]] and a pinch of [[cinnamon]] instead of the [[mixed spice]].

I used canned pineapple the second time I made this and left the gammon sitting in the pineapple juice and spices (refrigerated) for about 3 hours. I then grilled the gammon in this juice, as pictured.

Try this with [[pork loin steaks]].
