- 1 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 8 Small Vine Tomatoes

Instructions

Chips: Cook 200 grams Chips in your favourite way. We cooked our homemade air fryer chips, but oven chips / frozen chips cooked on a baking tray is fine too! 15 minutes before the chips are cooked start cooking the rest of the meal.

Snip incisions into the rind and fat layer of the 2 Gammon Steaks. This step prevents the gammon from curling up during cooking.

Gammon: Place only ½ tbsp of the 1 ½ tbsp Olive Oil into a large frying pan, heat over medium-high heat. Add the 2 Gammon Steaks and cook for 3-6 minutes on each side. (Time depends on thickness of gammon steak)

Fry: Meanwhile, place another ½ tbsp of oil into a griddle pan (or another frying pan) on medium heat, add 8 Small Vine Tomatoes and 4 Pineapple RingsOptional - We like to sprinkle 1 tsp Light Brown Sugar on both sides of the pineapple to give them a caramelised finish.
