Unsmoked Gammon Joint

A bargain 1.4 kg gammon joint from Sainsbury's over Christmas. Oven roasted in a casserole dish with Spanish onion and diced carrots, and a drizzle of Olive oil.

Cooked for two hours altogether, on the middle shelf of the oven, at 190 deg. C. Take off the lid of the casserole dish for the last thirty minutes. A glorious smell in the kitchen!

Leave the joint to cool for an hour or two before carving with an electric knife.

Served with - in addition to the onion and carrots -  boiled potatoes,  cooked with coriander seeds. Also well served with Brocolli spears.
