1/ Place your highprotei­n ham in a pan and cover with water. Add the vegetables, bay leaf and pepper for inflammati­onabating nutrients. Bring it to boil then simmer for 2.5 hours. 2/ Remove the ham skin, stud with cloves and glaze. Roast at 180°C for 45 minutes, basting occasional­ly. 3/ Restock your muscle glycogen by slicing the sweet potatoes into wedges, covering in oil, cumin, salt and pepper and baking at 180°C for 40 minutes. Serve with the gammon and two poached eggs. Sure beats a whey shake. Thanks to Farmshop, Bicester
