Ingredients

2 tsp Vegetable oil

250g Asda Flavoursome 2 Smoked Mini Gammon Steaks

150g Carrot, diced

4 tsp Cook by Asda Shawarma Seasoning

400g tin Just Essentials by Asda Chopped Tomatoes in Tomato Juice

400g tin Asda Pinto Beans in Water

170g Just Essentials by Asda Garlic Bread, rounded end pieces removed (and used in our Rarebit cauliflower steaks recipe, if you like)

410g tin Just Essentials by Asda Baked Beans

½ x 400g tin Just Essentials by Asda Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed

10g Asda Mild & Peppery Flat Leaf Parsley, leaves finely chopped

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in a lidded casserole pan over a high heat. Pat dry the gammon steaks, then sear for 1–2 mins on each side. Remove from the pan. Lower the heat under the pan a little and add the carrot. Fry, stirring for 3 mins, then stir in the shawarma seasoning for another min.
2
Add the tomatoes and 150ml of water, plus 2 tbsp of the pinto bean liquid. Position the gammon steaks in the sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and bake in the middle of the oven for 1½ hrs until the gammon is tender. Drain the remaining pinto bean liquid and rinse the beans.
3
To cook in the slow cooker: After browning the gammon steaks, transfer to a slow cooker with the carrots, seasoning, tomatoes and water. Cook on low for 6 hours until the gammon is tender. Shred the gammon, add the beans and cook on high for 30–45 mins.
4
Meanwhile, use a bread knife to separate each slice of garlic bread. Arrange on a baking sheet, buttered side up. When the gammon has 5 mins to go, add the bread to the shelf above.
5
When 5 mins are up, check the bread is golden and crisp and, if not, cook for 2–3 mins more. Carefully remove the gammon steaks from the casserole pan to a plate. Put the casserole back onto the hob, stir in the baked beans, drained pinto and kidney beans. Simmer together for 5 mins.
6
Shred the gammon into small chunks using forks, then stir back into the beans with most of the parsley and seasoning. Top the beans with the garlic bread, then serve with the remaining parsley scattered over.
