Tips and Variations
- Smaller joints: If your gammon joint is smaller, reduce the cooking time by about 10 minutes. Always check the internal temperature to ensure it’s cooked through.
- Glaze options: Try different glazes, such as a mix of maple syrup and mustard, or orange marmalade with a dash of soy sauce for a citrusy twist.
- Herb rub: For added depth, rub fresh thyme or rosemary into the gammon before cooking.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Leftover air fryer gammon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can be eaten cold or reheated.
Reheating:
- In the microwave: Reheat individual slices of gammon for 1-2 minutes on medium heat.
- In the air fryer: To reheat, place slices of gammon back in the air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes until warmed through.
- Cold slices: Gammon is delicious served cold and can be added to sandwiches, salads, or even breakfast dishes like scrambled eggs.
Serving Suggestions
Here are some tasty sides and accompaniments to serve with your air fryer gammon:
- Roasted vegetables: Carrots, parsnips, and Brussels sprouts roasted in the air fryer or oven are a perfect match for gammon.
- Mashed potatoes: Creamy mashed potatoes with a touch of butter and herbs pair wonderfully with the savory-sweet gammon.
- Coleslaw: A light, tangy coleslaw offers a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the gammon.
- Peas and mint: A side of peas tossed with butter and fresh mint adds a pop of color and freshness to the plate.
For a festive or holiday meal, you can also serve the gammon with cranberry sauce or a traditional gravy.
