What Can I Use Instead Of Mustard Powder For The Ham In Coca Cola?

Our answer

Nigella's Ham In Coca Cola (from NIGELLA BITES) simmers a gammon in coca cola until cooked though. The rind is removed from the cooked ham, leaving a thin layer of fat, and then the ham is studded with cloves and glazed with treacle and sugar. Mustard provides a piquant foil to the sweetness of the glaze.

If you can't get mustard powder then you can use a ready-made English mustard instead. And if you need the ham to be gluten free then you can use Dijon mustard instead of English mustard. Once you have removed the skin from the ham, spread a thin layer of mustard over the fat before inserting the cloves. Then carefully spread over the treacle and continue with the recipe.
