There are a couple of provisos on this - if you get good quality gammon, you might not get that much - but enough for 4 people to have a decent piece. The frozen peas don't come economically, in small bags - so I have assumed a smallish supermarket bag split into 4 meals (40p x 4), and the soya milk - half a litre.
Potatoes - 80p
Cauliflower - £1
Gammon £1.50
Cheddar £1.50
Soya milk - 33p
Frozen peas - 40p
Total £5.53
This is a tough challenge. If you can afford to buy in bulk you can shave some pennies off here and there. We are a veggie - meat eater household - so need protein on both sides - if it was veggie (ie. no gammon ...easy peasy ... if it was gammon - cauliflower without cheese - also easy peasy) ... so, I have exceeded the budget by 53p - and some bits from the larder (olive oil and cornflour).
1. Chop potatoes into 2cm (ish) cubes, and toss in olive oil. Roast for 1 hour.
2. Separate cauliflower into florets and steam for 20 mins.
3. Heat soya (or dairy) milk. Grate cheese.
4. Slake cornflour in a couple of tablespoons of water. Stir into milk, with the grated cheese to make the sauce.
5. When the cauliflower is cooked, put in an oven dish, cover with sauce and stick it in the oven with the potatoes.
5. When the potatoes have been in for 40 mins, stir them around and stick the gammon steaks in the oven.
6. At about the same time boil the peas.
7. Serve, scoff ...
