A new version of this classic combination from Nigel Slater.
Ingredients
- 1 just ripe avocado
- a lime juiced
- 150 g Cucumber
- 100 g pineapple
- 1 small red onion peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- a small bunch coriander or mint or basil leaves picked
- sea salt and black pepper
- 2 large gammon steaks
Servings:
Instructions
- Halve, stone and peel the avocado and cut the flesh into small dice. Put it in a mixing bowl and moisten with a little lime juice.
- Peel the cucumber and halve lengthways. Remove any large seeds and the watery core with a tsp. Cut into small dice and add to the avocado.
- Peel the pineapple and dice in the same way. Toss with the avocado and cucumber.
- Add the onion and olive oil to the bowl together with a large handful of coriander leaves. Season with a little salt and set aside to chill in the fridge.
- Warm a griddle pan over a moderate heat. Season the gammon with a little pepper- it will not need salt.
- Cook the gammon for 4 minutes until the fat is starting to turn translucent and golden, then turn and cook the other side. The meat is done when it springs back when pressed.
- Remove the meat from the heat and rest for a minute or two. Pour any hot fat from the griddle pan into the salsa and toss gently, then serve the salsa with the gammon steaks.
