CHINESE FIVE S P I C E A N D SW E E T CHILLI GAMMON Serves 10 Takes 2 hrs approx Cost per serve £1·18 1·25-1·5kg finest* Wiltshire unsmoked gammon joint 3 onions, peeled and quartered 275ml ginger beer 1 tsp grated ginger 4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce ½ tsp Chinese five spice 2½ tbsp rice vinegar
1 Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Put the gammon and onions in a roasting tin. Pour in the ginger beer and cover with foil. 2 Cook for 30 minutes per 500g, plus 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the tin and pour the onions and liquid into a frying pan.
3 Increase the temperature to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Using a sharp knife, remove the rind, leaving a small layer of fat. Line the tin with foil; return the gammon to the tin. 4 To make the glaze, mix the ginger, chilli sauce, Chinese five spice and 1 tbsp rice vinegar; brush over the gammon fat. Roast for 20 minutes until golden brown and sticky, spooning in the glaze that has fallen through into the foil after 10 minutes. Remove from the oven; rest for 15 minutes. 5 Meanwhile, boil the onions and liquid, stirring until the onions are caramelised and the sauce thickens. Add the remaining rice vinegar. 6 Slice the gammon, top with the onions; serve with spring onion mash and chilli and ginger broccoli. Each serving contains Energy
