Ingredients

1 large gammon steak, rind on (about 350g12oz; 1cm/½in thick)

a little oil , for brushing

1 tsp clear honey

100g fresh pineapple , finely chopped

1 large red chilli , seeded and finely chopped

1 tsp soft brown sugar

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

Method

First, make the salsa. Mix together all of the ingredients (use 1⁄2 a chilli for a milder flavour, all of it for a pungent one). Set aside while you cook the gammon.

Heat the grill for 3 mins. Use a thin-bladed knife to slice the gammon into 2 steaks, then snip the rind every 2-3cm. Lightly brush with oil. Grill for about 3 mins each side until just firm, then brush over the honey on one side and cook for 1 min more. Remove and leave to stand for 2-3 mins.

Serve the gammon with the salsa spooned over the top. Good with a chicory salad or green beans and chunky-cut chips.
