TIP: For a spicy kick, try replacing ham with a spicy sausage or chorizo, or add finely chopped red chilli. Instead of serving ham mixture over bread, it’s delicious stirred through cooked pasta.

Heat an oiled, large, deep, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add ham and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
