the health boost tip
Gammon is a relatively cheap cut of meat to keep your weekly food budget in check. It keeps well and is delicious eaten cold, sliced for a lunch box sandwich or cubed and added to a salad. We love a multitasking recipe yielding plenty of leftovers!
For the little ones, slow cooked meat is also the best and easiest to eat as it is extremely tender and literally melts in their mouth.
