As cooking and eating are one of my favourite pastimes I thought I'd start a series of threads sharing my favourite recipies as I cook them. I'll kick off with my deluxe corned beef hash, an old favourite with a twist that can be enjoyed as a main meal, snack or breakfast. I cook in a little sliced chorizo sausage that really brings out the flavours and colour and breaks up the monotony of the corned beef. Corned beef hash is great tasty comfort food, dead easy to make and you can make loads of it in advance, keep it in the fridge and re-fry or microwave it when you're hungry.
Behold how I've resurrected this thread with pictures!
This makes one mighty portion with seconds.
Ingredients:
2 medium potatoes, skinned and cut into 1cm cubes
1 onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1/3 tin of corned beef, cubed
5cm chorizo, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
salt, pepper and chilli to taste
Olive oil to fry
The secret ingredient:
Get a large frying pan and heat it up on the gas, add plenty of olive oil and get the potatoes frying:
This will take about 5-10 minutes depending on the spuds and take regular samples to check. The aim is to get them cooked through and nearly light brown and crispy on the outside before you add any more of the ingredients. There will be too much oil in the pan so soak some out with kitchen paper before you add the other ingredients.
Once they are nearly done add the onions and garlic and continue to cook for a few more minutes:
Then add the chorizo and a pinch of chilli. You don't want to make this hot or even spicy, just a cheeky little nip in the background that will compliment the chorizo.
Once the onions are soft and opaque you can add the cubed corned beef:
It needs to go in right at the end. You don't want to cook it because it'll break up and dissolve into the other ingredients and we want to keep it cubed, so just long enough to heat it through. Add salt and pepper to taste and it's ready to serve.
Chuck on a fried or poached egg for breakfast, add ketchup or brown sauce and DIG IN!!!
