Gluten Free Indian Spiced Lentil and Gammon Soup

Soak the gammon in cold water overnight, skim off any layers of salt when needed.

Boil the gammon as per pack instructions ( if your gammon doesn't come with instructions, boil in a pan for 2-3 hours until cooked)

Once the gammon is cooked set aside.

Heat the oil or low calorie spray in a large saucepan and add the onion, celery and carrot. Cook on low until soft (approximately 5-10 minutes).

Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and spices, cook for 1 minute to let the aromas release.

Pour in the boiling water and crumble in the stock cubes. Add the lentils and cook for approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally so the lentils do not stick.

Shred the gammon and add to the pan, cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve with a sprinkle of the remaining chilli and coriander.
