Published on 26 March 2023
Switch up a midweek stir-fry with this gluten-free Sweet and Sour Gammon with Stir-fried Veg, from Celebrity MasterChef winner Lisa Faulkner. A jar of sweet and sour sauce does double duty – as a marinade for the meat, and as a sauce to sizzle your veg. It gives the gammon a lovely sticky glaze and complements its flavour perfectly. Serve with brown rice for a more substantial meal. Looking for more Lisa Faulkner recipes? Look no further.Time and servings

Add the rest of the jar of sauce, including all the veg, to the pan, along with a splash of water to loosen, and cook for 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper and add a bit more water if needed.Step 5
Slice the gammon steaks into strips and serve on top of the stir-fried veg, with brown rice, if you like.
