Gammon joint, hoy in a pan with some lentils (canny few) cover, bring to boil, then simmer until cooked. Maybe a couple of hours.
Remove gammon and allow to cool. You will probably eat some now, so get a bigger gammon joint.
Add a couple or three of sliced carrots, chopped leeks, diced turnip, and diced potato.
Once veg is cooked hoy in whats left of the chopped gammon, then hoy in some dumplings (self raising flour & suet, water to bind it together. Cover and simmer till dumplings are cooked. Give it a gentle stir every now and then, the veg and gammon will sink and stick to the bottom of the pan.
Once the dumplings are cooked its ready.
Black pepper and crusty bread.

Mrs K has just had a look, so I reckon it’ll be on the hob in a couple of weeks. She just had one question which was about the liquid? Is it just water or some kind of stock?

Just water. Boiling the ham turns the water to ham stock.
I don't add salt either, normally the ham is salty enough.

Sorry mate, one more question. Enough water to cover everything or more to soak up the lentils as well?

Just tell her to read the first line of his recipe and stop getting you to come on here for more info,ffs!

Depending on the ham, sometimes the stock may not have enough flavour, so I have a veggie stock cube there just in case

Love beans, except broad beans. Can’t get past the stink

Enough water to cover the ham joint, or just about cover it.
Think of it in stages...stage 1 is to cook the ham.
Cutting the joint in half will speed up this stage. Once cooked remove from liquid and set aside.
Eat a bit ham.

Stage 2, add veg, simmer till just about cooked.

Stage 3 add the chopped up ham (if any left!!), and add dumplings.

Ham's on, all veg and dumplings prepped.
The empty pan is to transfer half of it into before the dumplings go in.
That way I can fit more dumplings!

Will be taking some over for my daughter and my son's taking some, so not all for me.

I love beans, all kinds of beans, Butterbeans, Haricot beans, Blackeyed beans, Kidney beans, Pinto beans, Borlotti beans.. you name it, I love it.

Nothing like making a 2 hour ragu with lashings of tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, olive oil and then drenching the beans in it. Unmatched with crusty bread.

You know I like to go on cruises
And this particular cruise ship has a tapas restaurant
That gives me the most gorgeous cannelloni
Beans so flavoursome there my favourite

Are there 2 hams in there?

Are there 2 hams in there?

It's one decent sized one cut in half.
Just checked, it's 1.3kg, was about £6.50ish at Aldi.
