Gosh, I'm a little behind with blog posts! So many local foodie things have happened in our house over the last few days, that I can't keep up. First up, after my visit to Lymm market on Thursday, I washed off the HUGE bunch of parsley I bought for 50p...yes 50p. I love a bargain: it really puts a spring in my step. I can't help pulling a few leaves off every time I am in the fridge because it is so glossy and green.
My aunty gave me a gammon joint, so I pot roasted it with veg, and all the parsley stalks. It fed 8 of us that evening easily. Whenever I cook gammon this way, I pop some red lentils in the pot after removing the joint and some of the liquid for gravy (we are northeners after all!). I leave it simmering for 15 more minutes and then zizz up with a blender to make delicious soup. If I have leftover gammon, I then flake it in.
As a result, I made 15 meals with this joint and a few vegetables: 8 for gammon dinner and a further 7 soup portions.
