ready in 7-8 hours (including time in the slow cooker)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.5 litres diet cola\u00a0
1kg floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper or King Edward, peeled and cut into thick chips\u00a0

200g cabbage, cored and shredded 
2 carrots, coarsely grated 
4 tbsp fat-free natural yogurt\/fromage frais 
4 spring onions, finely shredded <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you do: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Put the gammon in the slow cooker. Pour the diet cola over it, then cook on low for 7-8 hours. The gammon is ready when it falls apart easily when pulled with 2 forks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. About 40 minutes before you\u2019re ready to eat, preheat your oven to 220\u00b0C\/fan 200\u00b0C\/gas 7 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Cook the chips in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well, shake in the pan to roughen up the edges, then tip onto the baking sheet. Spray with 1 cal cooking spray, toss well and cook on the top shelf of the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Remove the gammon from the slow cooker, put it on a cutting board and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. While the gammon is cooling, combine all your coleslaw ingredients in a bowl and fry the eggs to your liking using 1 cal cooking spray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Use 2 forks to shred the gammon into bite-size pieces. Serve with the egg, chips and coleslaw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
