Oh man was I tired on Thursday - I was working from 6am til 10:30, ten it was off to uni for a full day of classes. I came home slightly delirious and in need of food, so my boyfriend made the ultimate in comfort food. Meat and mash. I pretty much passed out s soon as we'd eaten!
Another totally simple meal, but incredibly tasty!
Gammon steaks with carrot mash
2 unsmoked gammon steaks
4 medium or 2 huge carrots, chopped
300g all purpose potatoes, unpeeled
A splash balsamic
Butter
100g Cheddar (we used Arran Cheese Shop's cheddar with chives)
Boil carrots until tender, drain and seta aside. I don't like cooking the potatoes and carrots together, as it's ncie to keep the two flavours separate. Over the drained carrots, add a splash of balsamic to bring out the flavour.
Meanwhile, boil the potatoes. When they are tender as well, drain and toass with the carrots. ROUGHLY mash together with a generous knob of butter; remember, you don't want to mash to finely asn it's lovely to have the texture of the carrots in the mash. Stir in the grated cheddar and spoon into a baking dish. Bake at around 180'C for 45 minutes, until the top is crispy and golden.
When the potatoes are nearly finished in the oven, grill the gammon steaks. Once everything is done and ready to be plated up, open up a jar of pineapple chutney.
Simples!
