Method

Put the potatoes into a pan of boiling water and cook for 12 mins. Balance the broccoli on top of the potatoes for the last 4 mins and add the peas for the last 2 mins.
Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan, add the oil, onion and sage leaves. Cook for a few minutes, then push to one side and add the gammon steaks. Cook for 4-5 mins. Take out the gammon and put on to 2 plates. Take out the sage.
Stir the crème fraîche and mustards into the pan, and heat through. Season.
Divide the vegetables and gammon between 2 serving plates. Spoon the sauce over. If you like, you can put the sage leaves in the sauce.
