Three festive favourites. One perfect plate. 🎄🍖
Meet the Festive Roast Trio - made for sharing and celebrating.

Ingredients
- Gammon joint or slices
- Beef tongue
- Corned beef
- Honey or brown sugar (for glazing gammon)
- Whole cloves or mustard (optional)
- Black pepper
- Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme)

⏱️ Cooking Method & Times
1. Gammon
Boil: 20 minutes per 500g in gently simmering water
Roast: 25–30 minutes at 200°C after glazing

Method:
Boil the gammon until tender. Remove from water, peel off the rind, score the fat and glaze with honey or brown sugar (add cloves or mustard if you like). Roast until golden and caramelised.

2. Beef Tongue
Boil: 2½ – 3 hours on a gentle simmer

Method:
Place the tongue in cold water, bring to a simmer and cook until soft. Remove, peel while still warm, and slice thinly. Season lightly with black pepper.

3. Corned Beef

Boil: 2 – 2½ hours on a gentle simmer

Method:
Simmer corned beef until fork-tender. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing for best texture.

🍽️ To Serve

Arrange the gammon, tongue and corned beef on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm or cold - ideal for summer festive tables.

All ingredients available in-store or online at Econofoods.
