1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

Brush the oil over the gammon and grill each tray for 6min, turning steaks halfway through the cooking time. Cover the cooked gammon with foil to keep warm.
2. Step 2
  Meanwhile, chop the pineapple chunks into smaller pieces. In a medium bowl, stir the pineapple, chilli and mint together until combined. Serve the gammon, drizzled with any juices, with the pineapple salsa and a salad.
