Serves 4

Ingredients

1 small packet sage and onion stuffing
juice of 1/2 lemon
2×225g ( 8 oz ) lean gammon steaks with all visible fat removed
16 very small onions
1 tablespoon polyunsturated margarine
1 tablespoon sugar

Pre-heat the oven to 200 C ( 400 F/gas mark 6 ) .
Make up the stuffing according to the instruction on the packet, adding the lemon juice.
Spread a layer of stuffing on each gammon steak and roll them up.
Grease and ovenproof dish with a little oil to prevent sticking, place the two stuffed gammon rolls in it, cover with

greaseproof paper and bake for 30 minutes.
Put the onions in a pan with some cold water and bring to the boil.
Strain, add the margarine and sugar, and cook gently for about 20 minutes, shaking constantly, until onions are tender.
To serve, cut each stuffed gammon steak in two and accompany with the onions and boiled potatoes.

Notes: if you have the time, this recipe would be even nicer with a home-made stuffing.
