Ingredients

• 1 small fresh pineapple
• If you really want to cheat, use canned pineapple
• 4 gammon steaks
• 4 tablespoon muscovado sugar or jaggery
• 1 teaspoon mixed spice
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Mise en place

• Preheat the grill.
• Peel and core the pineapple and cut into about 8 slices.

Method

1. Add the spices, sugar and seasoning to bowl and mix well.
2. Use a Le Creuset-type dish as pictured or line a grill tray with tin-foil and turn up the edges to catch the juices.
3. Sit the gammon steaks on the pineapple slices, sprinkle with ½ of the spices.
4. Grill for 9 minutes.
5. Turn the gammon steaks and pineapple slices over, sit the steaks on the pineapple, sprinkle with the remaining spices and 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.
