Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/ gas 4. Soak the gammon in cold water, if necessary (see tip, above) and rinse well. Pat dry with kitchen paper and set aside.
- Heat a roasting tin or casserole over a medium heat and brown the gammon, skin-side down at first, until golden all over – about 5-6 minutes. Set aside. Add the onion to the tin, stir for 1 minute, then add the garlic, tomato purée, maple syrup, molasses or sugar, mustard and cinnamon. Cook for a further minute, then add the beans and stock. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 10 minutes. Add the gammon, re-cover and bake in the oven for a further 40 minutes – cook uncovered for the last 10 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
- Season with black pepper, thickly slice the gammon and serve with the beans and steamed buttered greens.
