200g Waitrose Papaya (about ½), peeled, deseeded and cut into 1cm cubes
1 unwaxed lime, zest and juice
¼ red onion, finely chopped
360g pack 2 British Unsmoked Gammon Steaks
½ tbsp olive oil
250g pouch Waitrose Coconut, Lime & Coriander Rice (optional)
½ x 300g pack fine green beans, trimmed (optional)
¼ x 25g pack coriander, leaves roughly chopped

For the salsa, put the papaya, lime zest and juice and red onion in a bowl with a pinch of salt; mix together, then set aside.
Heat a large griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Brush the gammon steaks all over with the oil, season with black pepper, then griddle or fry for 3-3½ minutes on each side
Meanwhile, if using, heat the rice according to pack instructions. Simmer the beans in a saucepan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes, if using, then drain. Toss the coriander through the salsa and serve with the gammon steaks, beans and rice, if liked

Cook’s tip

Leftovers

Papaya

This tropical fruit contains beneficial vitamin C and other antioxidants, and is delicious eaten just as it is with a little lime squeezed over. Alternatively, blend it into smoothies or add to salads.
