3. Dip the gammon steak into the seasoned flour, then into the egg and finally into the breadcrumbs to fully coat the steak.
4. Place the gammon steak carefully into the hot oil and deep fry for five minutes or until crisp and golden and cooked through. Remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
5. Meanwhile, to make the chutney, fry the onion in the butter until softened. Add the rhubarb and cook for a further minute.
6. Pour in the red wine and the vinegar, the brown sugar and chilli flakes and cook down for ten minutes or until rich and syrupy.
