I have some smoked gammon and would like a good recipe to cook an what to cook with it? thanks

Gammon is pretty much what you would call uncooked ham in the US. It is generally curred, probably in a brine and often smoked. Generally sold uncooked and needs to be cooked.

I'm curious - what is a gammon steak? ham, bacon?

well, give us more direction then!

sounds amazing, I had never thought about a soup.

any chance someone could read my mind and actually post a recipe i fancy tonight??

mmm...kind of depends on what else you have on hand. A nice bit of smoked gammon could be cut into cubes and made into a yummy, smokey lentil soup. I'd saute some onions, a bit of garlic, then toss in the cubed gammon. Maybe some sliced carrots. I'd probably start the lentils separately, cooking in water with a bay leaf or two. be sure to skim the scum off the lentils. Once the lentils are soft, 30-45 minutes, you could add the other stuff. Some salt and pepper, a bit of crushed chili if you like (I'd use some Aleppo chili, not too hot, a nice tang), or even a whole fresh green chili or two, left whole with a slit cut down the side so you get a bit of the heat, but more of the flavour.

How's that sound?

it does look delicious, great find. unfortunatley I only have two steaks, any suggestion for the steaks?

Thanks
