My take on Corned Beef Hash
This is a dish I have never actually ever eaten cooked by anyone else
but I tried this again tonight and was quite taken by it. Chopped some onions and sweated them in a little olive oil till they were cooked through. Added some 1cm cubes of cooked new potato (warmed through in microwave) and some chopped garlic. After 10 mins of gentle cooking added some butter and turned up heat for 5 mins , turning occasionally. At the end, added some 1.5 cm cubes of tinned corned beef, added salt and pepper and cooked for another 5 mins turning frequently. Turned out really nice, not sure if it counts as a real hash though.

It's a hash if it has multiple ingredients cut to pieces the same size. That's all a hash is. Steve |

James Beard says the essence of hash is onion, potato and beef/ corned beef, though he also gives a recipe for chicken hash. Personally, I think creating a crisp bottom crust is key to the hash I like. So the frying pan can't be non-stick, and after you have the ingredients all mixed and cooked you add a bit of cream (evap. milk in a pinch) and let it cook out pretty quickly. Then finish by steaming covered for a few minutes if necessary, and invert it onto the plate/ platter when serving. Hash is another answer to the thread about quick meals...... -aem |

If you use a mixture of bacon grease and olive oil (Be generous with both.), you might like what I call slow-browned hash. Grind one part cooked meat (ideally, half corned beef and half beef tongue), two parts onion, three parts raw potato. Mix well, and zap on high, stirring often, till the onion is about transparent. Then put it into a very slow electric skillet (around 300 - 325) with the fats. Keep an eye on it. When it forms a crust, turn it over and chop the crust into it. Repeat six or eight times. It ends up practically all crust -- and takes forever. But you can make big batches and freeze most. Hint : freeze it in pints, and cut each into quarters with a table knife before freezing. Now you can zap the package for about half a minute, redo the cuts, and take out as many or as few quarters as you want, with the rest still frozen. A quarter of a pint makes a good bed to serve two poached eggs on. -- Beartooth Implacable, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert What do they know of country, who only country know? |

I couldn't use the electric skillet because it's teflon but I can use a low flame with a regular skillet. > .... * Hint : freeze it in pints, and cut each into quarters with a > table knife before freezing.

Ingenious, but I avoid the 'make too much and freeze the excess' bizness whenever possible. I much prefer freshly made food. > A quarter of a pint makes a good bed to > serve two poached eggs on. Sheldon says you can cook the egg(s) on top of the hash, covering the pan, instead of poaching them separately. Should work, but I haven't tried it yet. -aem |
