Slow Cooked Diet Coke Gammon

I adore gammon, and this Slow Cooked Diet Coke Gammon is a total must make if you’re looking for an easy, delicious way to meal prep a some meat to add to your healthy meals! I was lucky enough to be given an Instant Pot which has made it even easier for me to cook healthy, Slimming World friendly meals. Not only can I now cook quickly using the Instant Pot as a pressure cooker, but I can slow cook too not to mention plenty of other fab techniques.

This sensational Slow Cooked Diet Coke Gammon came about because I’ve always loved to cook gammon in cola, but that just didn’t seem like a possibility now that I’m avoiding all full fat fizzy drinks. I therefore got to thinking, what about Diet Coke gammon, could that possibly work? It turns out…that yes it does! 

Is This Slow Cooked Diet Coke Gammon Slimming World Friendly?

As with all meat on Slimming World, you have to cut off as much of the visible fat from your gammon joint as you can. Once you do that, the gammon is syn free. Therefore, this slow cooked Diet Coke gammon is also totally syn free! It’s packed full of flavour, melt in the mouth, and the meat just pulled apart after 10 hours in the slow cooker. The best thing is that it’s now doing me very well as lunch in so many different recipes! I know it seems like a long cooking time but I put this on to cook before bed and by the time I woke up… it was perfect!

I carefully removed the top layer of fat from the gammon using a sharp knife.

The gammon was cooked with all of the ingredients in the slow cooker for 10 hours!

After 10 hours the gammon is well cooked and melt in the mouth!

The gammon should fall apart into chunks as you remove it from the slow cooker.

Pull the gammon apart for tender and delicious strips of meat. I used these amazing ‘Bear Claws’.

Serve with any food you like, here I’ve paired it with roasted peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and new potatoes (all cooked in the pressure cooker!)
