Ingredients
4 x 250g (9oz) gammon steaks
1Tbsp.
sunflower oil
250g
(9oz) fresh pineapple chunks (or 425g tin of pineapple chunks in juice, drained)
1
red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
Small handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat grill to high. Line two baking trays with foil. Snip the fat on each gammon steak at 2cm (¾in) intervals and put 2 steaks on each tray. Brush the oil over the gammon and grill each tray for 6min, turning steaks halfway through the cooking time. Cover the cooked gammon with foil to keep warm.
Step 2
Meanwhile, chop the pineapple chunks into smaller pieces. In a medium bowl, stir the pineapple, chilli and mint together until combined. Serve the gammon, drizzled with any juices, with the pineapple salsa and a salad.
