  • Cook it? I don't know any good veal recipes i'm afraid.

    I have spent a happy day dithering/tidying/sorting out the flat. now have a gammon joint in the oven. It got washed, then soaked for an hour then brought up to a simmer twice, changing the water each time (to get rid of as much as salt as possible). Then went in a casserole dish with an orange juice and scotch bonnet marinade. Been in two hours on 150 degrees now, lid on for first hour and half. Now off and bumped up to 180 for a bit of colour and crunch. I tend to sort of make up the cooking as I go trying to manage the best compromise between a long, slow cook and a good crust on the outside.

    Think i'll just go with plain boiled/buttered potatoes out of the garden and either salad of green beans with it. After another hour or so and a good long rest obviously.

    Wine is now open.
