Potato, Ham and Broccoli Gratin                                   Time: 70 minutes

2 - 3 potatoes, depending on size
1/2  - 1 head broccoli enough for two,  If there is still a bit left, save it for the Lo Mein
1 onion
8 - 10 oz slice ham - a slice about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick
1/3 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 tbs Dijon mustard
3/4 cup shredded cheese (3 oz)

Cut broccoli into small florets, including stems.  Cut the onion in quarters then slice thinly.  Slice the potatoes 1/8 inch (.3cm) thick.  Cut ham into 1 inch (2.5 cm) squares.  Put the broccoli, potatoes, onions and ham into a large bowl.  Sprinkle with flour and toss to coat as evenly as possible.  Put the whole lot into a large glass baking dish.  Whisk the milk and mustard together and pour carefully over the vegetables.  Sprinkle with the cheese, cover and bake at 400F (200C) for an hour or until the potatoes are done. Uncover for the last 10 minutes to brown the cheese.  Serve
