(Ham & Haddock… apparently!)
First of all… Paps came up with the title for this one!!!
A few days ago, Paps bought a 2.5kg gammon from Lidl because it was on special offer. Now, 2.5kg of gammon for just the two of us was… optimistic. Unsurprisingly, we had quite a bit left over.
We worked our way through the usual options – sandwiches, gammon, egg & chips – but still had some lingering in the fridge.
So… what to do?
After a bit of Googling, I came across the idea that smoked haddock goes really well with ham/gammon, which sounded promising.
I sent Paps off to the shops with very clear instructions:
“Get me some smoked haddock – the proper stuff, not that fluorescent yellow sh*t.”
And what did he come back with?
Glow-in-the-dark smoked Basa.
A textbook failure to follow instructions 😄
Anyway… I decided to go with it and threw something together.
This is a full-on blag recipe – no plan, just using what we had.
The result?
A really, really delicious supper.
So, if you ever find yourself with leftover ham or gammon, you absolutely must give this a go.
I’ve added the recipe below if you want a starting point – but as always, use what you’ve got and make it your own.
Lots of love,
