Restaurant fare 2

There is a dish that our restaurant does exceedingly well: the horseshoe-shaped gammon (ham) steak with a thin layer of fat which packs a maximum of flavour. I grew up with this dish, completely forgot about and then was reintroduced to it. There are various ways of preparing it but the traditional preparation with pineapple and an egg is still my favourite.

The saltiness of the smoked gammon is perfectly offset by the syrupy sweetness of the pineapple ring, which is caramelized in brown sugar. And finally, one fried free range egg, its yolk oozing thickly as you cut into it.

So easy to cook, so hard to get wrong and so perfect as a nourishing meal to carry you through the night.

Try it, I'm sure you will enjoy it too. It's on our menu.
