Our local Polish Deli had what we thought was a version of Salami. It turned out to be dry cured Pork in a wide sausage casing. But not to worry – this recipe really worked!
Ingredients:-
¼ stick / 175g of Smoked Ham (Polish Sausage style is cheep as chips!) Chopped into 2cm cubes

Broccoli - cut into small florets
