2. Slice the gammon into strips. Add to the marinade. Mix well. Put to one side. Fill a kettle and put it on to boil.

3. Halve the cabbage. Slice out the thick core. Finely shred it. Rinse well. Trim the leeks. Slice a cross in the tops so you can open the layers out. Rinse. Finely slice. Rinse and halve the pepper. Scoop out the seeds and white bits. Slice into fingers.
