I have a slowcooker recipe for gammon in cider with apples. What vegetables can I serve it with? There are a couple of shallots in the recipe and I'll probably serve it with some roast potatoes but what other veg. can I serve apples successfully with?

Braised red cabbage would be good.

scroat

Broccoli...

Thanks for your answers. Would carrots, peas and broccoli go with apples? By the way how does scroats become broccoli? I'm intrigued!
GEEMAC what's your braised red cabbage recipe? Have googled it but nothing comes up.
I'd just do mashed potatoes, pushed through a potato ricer, and beaten to an indencently rich fluff with inordinate mounds of real butter and hot milk. The rich creaminess is a perfect counterpoint to the slightly acidic and sweet sauce and the salty-ish nature of the gammon. But that's just me.......................

That is an alternative to the roast potatoes Kim as I LOVE mashed potato! As this is a biggish piece of gammon I'll do roasties one night and the mash another. I was looking for veg. which could be eaten with the dish but I think I'm going to settle for a veg. soup as a starter then serve the gammon with apples and potatoes. I wonder if roasted parsnips would go well with apple?????????
Homemade chips and peas is the answer :-)
Parsnip and potato mash goes nicely with pork in cider sauces and simply peas and carrots. Petit pois are a good choice if they are slightly sweet.

Mmm potato and parsnip mash could be a good idea. No chips in this household hammerman, I love them too much!
