After the holidays can someone please share their gammon recipe

The tannie in our family doesn't make it anymore so if I want it in the future I'll have to attempt one myself with my limited cooking skills :X3:

Made all the things that go well with pork......your potjie looks good, but where is the desert ? lazy bastid :P. First of 1st of jan I am making wiener schnitzel with a brandy mushroom sauce, garlic potatoes and roasted veggies, with malva pudding for desert. 31st just normal snacks, homemade ham and cheese puffs, spinach and feta puffs, and pastel de nata, and prawns in orange juice sauce, considering I am half Portuguese basically tradition to make pastel de nata and have prawns at the end of the year.

Just had desert. Local made malva pudding and added some custard. But I don't really eat too much sweet stuff.

Love prawns. But usually make with a creamy curry sauce. However no prawn nearby that I have seen

You should try them with some orange juice. Basically cook them in some butter little garlic salt and pepper., just before they are done remove them place on the side heat up the pan, place them back pending on the amount of prawns about half a cup of juice and let the orange juice evaporate a little till it is sticky and serve with LM prawn sauce............
 
Only noticing now the thread title was a little off...

Prepping the lamb, turkey, and gammon for dinner at the in-laws tonight. Also making tapioca pudding for desert - either tonight's or tomorrow's Christmas Day leftover lunch...

The air fryer in the background is just for show - I don't think even a single item would fit - fortunately I have an oven...

We do a lot of picanha, almost weekly, but I'd like to mix things up. Where do you get your tri-tip? Butcher?

Spar near us sell good ones for R149 /kg. We also have a Joeys meat market that sell great ones, but they get sold very quickly,
 
Tonight will be a Gammon served with baked potatoes, pumpkin pie and green beans.

Lunch tomorrow we do our Christmas favourite being seafood just to have something lighter than today. This year will be crayfish tails, prawns and mussels served with yellow rice and a green salad.

Already did my chores for the day so house is spotless for me to mess up again later with my cooking endeavours.
 
Today is roasting day. Will be doing the leg of lamb again but my mate also found a "rump" loaf, that's quite nice.

My mother is with us this year and will be doing what we call a pink carnation pudding, dunno how else to describe it and supposedly Bolo Blache.
 
Some Eisbein for xmas. Going to family. There will be 18 people. Cooked the first 3 smaller ones for 2 hours in pressure cooker now and cut them in chunks. I ;literally just pulled the bones out clean so tender they are. They seem enough already as others will bring 3 other meats as well, but decided to cook one of the big ones too just in case.
Will then crips them in oven for about an hour.
