The recipe was inspired by a clever member of the Pinch of Nom community who used some leftovers from our Pulled Pork recipe to make a lasagne. How delicious does that sound?
We had to give it a try ourselves, although we’ve switched the pork for a gammon joint, to keep the calories down as much as possible. To make sure this recipe fits in with your day, we’ve cooked it in our Instant Pot, so it gets just as melt-in-the-mouth as it would if it was slow cooked, in a fraction of the time.
If you’d prefer, you can absolutely make this lasagne using the Pulled Pork instead! Whichever you choose, we can guarantee that the end result will be so satisfying. Layer the BBQ-seasoned meat with our slimming-friendly white sauce and lasagne sheets, then top the whole thing with cheese and bake it until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
This recipe can also be made in your slow cooker or in your oven, so it’s ready on a schedule that fits into your busy day.

Step 1
Soak the gammon joint in water for a few hours or overnight to remove the excess salt. This step is really important to prevent the finished lasagne ending up too salty!
Step 2
Mix the pepper with the BBQ seasoning and rub it all over the gammon joint. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and spray with low-calorie cooking spray. Brown the gammon on all sides, remove from the pot and leave to one side.
Step 3
Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the gammon back to the pot and pour in the boiling water and Worcestershire sauce. Crumble in the stock cube and give the pot a stir.
Step 4
Lock the lid, turn the valve to sealing and place the Instant Pot into Manual mode. Increase the time to 90 minutes. Once finished, allow the pot to naturally release its pressure for 15 minutes.
Step 5
While the gammon joint is cooking, make the BBQ sauce. Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and cook the onions and garlic until the onions are soft.
Step 6
Add the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and passata and simmer for 4 minutes. Add in the BBQ seasoning, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sweetener and chipotle paste. Give the sauce a good stir and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Leave to one side while the gammon cooks.
Step 7
When the Instant Pot has naturally released for 15 minutes, quickly release the rest of the pressure and remove the gammon from the pot. Set to Sauté mode and allow the juices to bubble and reduce by half. Add in the BBQ sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Shred the gammon joint with two forks and add back to the Instant Pot. Stir and coat with the sauce.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Mix the yoghurt and eggs until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
Step 10
Spread a layer of the pulled pork mixture into the bottom of an ovenproof dish, then add a layer of lasagne sheets, then some of the white sauce. Repeat with a further layer of pulled pork, lasagne and the rest of the white sauce.
Step 11
Sprinkle the top with the Cheddar cheese and pop in the oven for 30 minutes until the top of the lasagne is golden brown. Serve with your choice of accompaniment.
