I thought this was a rhyming slang thread

The land of grey peas and bacon

Slow roast it

Or boil it then put some honey glaze and stick it in the oven...

Just roast it in the oven like you would with other joints.

I normally get the pre-cooked ones from the hot food counter and they are lush!

Good luck!

I believe it is quite difficult to get the skin to go very crispy without drying out the meat when you cook it at home.

I can normally find some crispy bits on the skin for the ones I buy from Morrisons, and would eat what I can and discard the rest.

I do like the skin when it is all soft and gooey due to the high gelatin content, however, it is too fatty to eat it all on my own!

This... maybedd a few cloves to the meat for flavour

Boil it then keep the stock to make some lentil soup...

don't worry about the lentil they normally boil away to nothing and and just turn to mush and mixes in well

If I were to make a soup with a gammon shank, I would make a ham/gammon and pea soup.

After roasting the shank, I would take off the meat, and chuck the skin and bone into a pot to make stock.

I would save and dice some of the meat to go into the soup.

Slowly brown some chopped garlic and onion, before adding the stock to the pan.

Add frozen peas to the pot and bring it to a fast boil.

Add the reserved ham/gammon to the pot and allow to simmer gently for about 30min.

Add some creme fraiche and chopped parsley to the pot before liquidising the lot, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

One of my favourite soup in the winter months.

If peas are no good in my recipe due to the carbohydrate content, try broccoli instead, as I believe it should still work.

Put it in a slow cooker, low-medium heat all day but put in about 1cm of water to keep it moist. Take off the fat at the end and put that in a conventional oven to crisp up. Let it rest for at least an hour before carving. It might well fall apart even when cold though. Whilst you make a cauliflower cheese to go with it, you can eat the crackling out of the oven and you don't need to share it with anyone.
