A friend made this from scratch for lunch when I called in unexpectedly. I watched with pleasure, ate with increasing pleasure and returned home to try my hand and share my pleasure…. so I hope you will try it out and enjoy!
As the meat is added as a topping it is also a very useful recipe because meat lovers and vegetarians can be invited to share the basic dish.

Gammon joint, glazed vegetables and a parsley sauce
Gammon joint and parsley sauce is an awesome combination, which is why it’s such a classic recipe. I’ve added a little treat with the glazed carrots and courgettes – the sweetness goes very well with the pork. There will probably be some meat left over, so I’d suggest making yourself another nice meal with cold meat and bubble and squeek. Yum!
