A "zingy" way to cook gammon which is really healthy. Lean steaks are served with nutritious bulghar wheat and green vegetables

Ingredients

85g bulghar wheat

85g fresh or frozen peas

1 large leek, thinly sliced

1 orange, halved

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp clear honey

1 tsp dijon mustard

2 lean gammon steaks

1 tbsp mint sauce

Method

1. Preheat your grill to High. Tip the bulghar wheat and 450ml of cold water into a large saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for 8 minutes. Add the peas and leek and bubble for 3-5 minutes more, until soft.

2. While the bulghar bubbles, make the glaze. Squeeze the juice of one orange half into a pan, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, honey and mustard and simmer for 2 minutes until sticky. Season the steaks with pepper only, put them on the grill rack (no tray) and grill for 5-6 minutes each side, brushing frequently with the glaze.

3. When the bulghar is cooked, drain it, season well and mix in the mint sauce. Cut each steak in half and serve on the bulghar, with the remaining orange half cut into segments.

Takes 30 minutes; serves 2.

Notes

I enjoyed cooking this meal, and it turned out fantastically yummy! When you make the glaze though, use a little bit more honey and cook on a high heat to "sticky" it up enough. I'd never used bulghar wheat before this, but I will definitely be doing so again!
