Best Gammon With Watercress Mustard Lentils Recipes

LENTILS WITH WATERCRESS

Lentils with Watercress image

Watercress is an amazing ingredient to incorporate into meals: from its hearty list of vitamins to its sharp peppery flavor. It can also be wilted or enjoyed raw. While the ends of the stems can be tough, most of the stems are tender, juicy and edible. Look for watercress in clamshells or bags of pretrimmed pieces or in a bunch.

Categories Dinner, Main course

Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2½ kg boneless unsmoked gammon joint, tied
1 sprig thyme 2 bay leaves and 1 rosemary sprig tied together
1 onion, halved
2 carrots, roughly chopped
1 celery stick, roughly chopped
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tsp cloves
1½ tbsp English mustard
70g clear honey
2 tbsp soft dark brown sugar

Steps:

Put the gammon in a large, deep saucepan. Add the tied herbs, onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns and cloves. Pour over enough cold water to cover the meat, then bring to the boil, cover with a lid, and lower to a gentle simmer for 1 hr 15 mins. Turn off the heat and leave the ham to sit in the liquid for 30 mins.
Remove from the liquid (this makes a delicious soup stock) and leave to cool until cold enough to handle. Peel off the thick layer of skin on the gammon to reveal a layer of fat. Discard the skin and score the fat in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife.
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the ham in a roasting tray lined with foil. Mix together the mustard, honey and sugar in a bowl, then generously brush half over the ham. Roast for 15 mins, then brush with the remaining glaze. Return to the oven for a further 20-30 mins or until sticky and brown. Leave to cool for 15 mins before carving into thick slices.
