Bacon Stewpot
The recipe states that you should remove the rind and cut up your ham into cubes, but as I wanted to use it for other things, I cooked it, covered in water, for 20 minutes in the pressure cooker until it was just tender. I kept the ham stock to make soup later.
6. Serve with a green vegetable.
As I wasn’t using the cubed bacon but had the whole joint in the pot, so once it was cooked I took out the bacon joint, halved it and cut half into cubes then stirred them back into the vegetable mixture.
This makes a huge pot of delicious, filling and warming food, which would feed 6-8 people. It would be ideal for a Halloween or Bonfire Party and, even better, I still have half the ham which I’m making into a pie and will feature in another post soon!

PERFECT looking stew and I am also a messy stew pot lover! Bacon or ham stew is one of my favourites Janice.

I know this sounds bonkers but I could quite literally jump into that mess and swim around with my mouth open and drown happily with a belly full of love… divine!

lush! and I so know what you mean about overfilling your casserole. I now put mine on the roasting pan to try to save my new oven! And that's WITH the lakeland oven liner at the bottom.
Maybe we should start the blogger's campaign for messy food since there seems to be a LOT of support here:)

Ah Donkey – you've done so well with your veggie week!
Karen – glad to hear you like to mess your stew pot
Dom – I think it would be like jumping into a peat bog and we might never see you again 😮
Purely Food – you are welcome
Fiona – yes I did put it on an oven tray, yay for messy food!
Hanna says
Looks delicious! Love a good spill-down-the-side on food like this!

Ohhhh how lovely that looks…..I miss having stews and casseroles. Even though I could get most of the ingredients (the ham is a bit of a problem here) there's no way I could bear to have the oven on for that long when it's already over 80 degrees inside. I shall just look at your pictures and drool!

That looks like a big pot of comfort. What a delicious hearty dish to tuck into on a cold day.

The messiness of that pot only adds to the deliciousness!
Janice says
Thanks everyone. Aw Wendy, I'm sure a nice Malaysian Steam Boat will suffice, eaten outside of course!
HH – yes very comforting
Hanna, Sue & DFTA – what is it about that spill? Seems to appeal to everyone including me!
