Ham & Peas Pudding
Ingredients:
- 900g lean unsmoked gammon joint
- 250g quick soak dried peas (soak for 2 hours) or overnight it, according to the packet instructions
- 2 carrots, peeled and left whole
- 2 onions, peeled and cut in half
- 900ml water
- 1 turnip, peeled and cut in half
- Black pepper (no salt)
- 300ml cider
- 2 bay leaves
Method
1
Rehydrate peas by following pack instructions (usual soaking time is around 2 hours for quick soak variety or overnight for longer version).
2
Place gammon in large pan with rehydrated peas and the remaining ingredients.
3
Bring to the boil, skim off the scum and reduce to a gentle simmer with lid on for about 1½-2 hours, until gammon is tender and almost flaking and the peas have broken down and are ‘mushy’.
4
Remove rind and fat from gammon and serve in bowls with broken chunks and peas pudding broth and crusty bread for dunking!
