Revisited an old favourite tonight.
Italian Gammon - (served with steamed and roasted vegetables, and crunchy wedges)
This is a very very nommalicious recipe. The whole family raved about it, and wanted seconds!!
I was watching a youtube clip on my friends facebook wall, where Gino D'Acampo, lost a bet and had to cook naked.
Anyway he was cooking gammon drowning in butter, with a sauce that was also drowning in butter, and Marscapone (very calorific).
I love Gammon, but have gotten bored of having the same thing with it all the time, and wanted to do something really different, so this recipe is my own recipe, inspired by his recipe.

Ingredients
4 x pieces of gammon, all fat trimmed off.
Handful Fresh flat parsely chopped (must be flat for the flavour)
Chilli flakes.
Butterly Frylite (can buy in tescos, and really needs to be this one for the flavour).
Cup of frozen pea's.
150g Philadelphia garlic and herb light.
150ml vegetable stock.
salt and pepper.
Prepare your gammon, were gonna oven bake it (13 minutes) so make sure you can fit your gammon onto one baking tray, because your going to need room in the oven for your wedges.
Spray the frylite on the tray, and do a very light sprinkle of chilli flakes on the bottom, then place your gammon on top. sprinkle liberally with the parsley and pepper to taste then spray with the frylite (see piccy).
I timed it so that I would do the sauce, when the gammon went into the oven, so crunchy wedge's went in, with veg which I was roasting, then 15 minutes later, I put the Gammon in.
In a deep frying pan or any pan, spray the frylite, then add the pea's. Its really important to let the pea's cook in the frylite for a bit, as you want the buttery flavour to seep into the pea's.
Then add the stock, and simmer until half the stock has gone.
Take off the heat, and add the Philadelphia to the peas, and stock, and mix until combined. Take a masher for potatoes, and mash the pea's into the sauce roughly, it doesn't have to be perfect (see piccy). Then return to the heat to warm through, do not boil.
Serve the sauce on top of the gammon (see piccy)!
This is simply delicious!!!
