Ingredients:
1 kg Unsmoked Gammon Joint
1 Medium Swede/Rutabaga
500 g Baby Carrots
500 g Bag Parsnips
3 Medium White Potatoes
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp French Mustard
1 Tsp Garlic Puree
1 Tbsp Oregano
1 Tbsp Parsley
1 Tbsp Thyme
Salt & Pepper
Instructions:
Prepare the Gammon:
In a small ramekin, combine the French mustard, half of the olive oil, and the garlic puree. Mix well to create a marinade.
Score the flesh side of the gammon joint with a sharp knife, then brush the marinade over the gammon, ensuring it gets into the gaps.
Place the gammon joint into the air fryer, fat side down, and air fry for 20 minutes at 160°C (320°F).
Prepare the Sides:
While the gammon is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Peel and dice the potatoes into roasties, peel and slice the parsnips into fries, peel and dice the swede, and clean the baby carrots.
In a large bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with the remaining olive oil, oregano, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper, ensuring they are well coated.
Cook Everything Together:
After 20 minutes, turn the gammon over in the air fryer and add the seasoned vegetables around the gammon, filling in the gaps.
Continue to air fry for a further 30 minutes at the same temperature until the gammon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
Serve:
Once cooked, remove the gammon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then slice the gammon and serve it with the roasted vegetables.
Presentation: Arrange the sliced gammon and roasted vegetables on a large platter, allowing the vibrant colors and enticing aromas to take center stage. Serve this hearty meal with a side of tangy mustard or your favorite gravy for an extra burst of flavor. Whether enjoyed as a cozy family dinner or a casual gathering with friends, this Air Fryer Gammon Joint Dinner is sure to impress with its simplicity and deliciousness.
