The other thread got me thinking

swmbo and I have recently been discussing this very meal and disagree as to what it is, we have differing versions......

What do you consider Corned Beef Hash to be....

[tigers_gonads]

corned beef and mash mixed up 

[Lazydocker]

Corned Beef, Mashed Spuds and diced onion, pressed into a Patty and fried

[Amigo]

Half mashed, half boiled potatoes, cooked but lumpy, diced onion, corned beef (of course) diced & stirred in, heat gently in a light stock & season with proper rock salt & ground black pepper.
    My guilty secret is to stir in a knob of butter just before serving....mmmmmmmm....

Looks like swmbo was right.......Might not tell her I asked on here

My Mum, and therefore me, did it in the oven, multi layers of potato, Onion and Corned Beef with a small amount of beef stock.....tasty.  I have also done made it as suggested above...

Paul. Try left over mash with spring onion & cabbage if you like patties. Kind of an irish dish like champ or cullcan whotsit..can't spell it but tastes great.

You've tasted Emma's cooking... There isn't any leftovers

Mind you... We have noticed that all my clothes keep shrinking in the wash

We tried spring onion in mash on Guy's recommendation, bloody lovely.

My new years resolution is to inspire you with recipes to try at home, fatten you up with curries/chillies & brekkies at OOFMEETS so i look slimmer in comparison!!!!! 8-)

You are more than welcome to try.......

Sounds like stovies....

Spuds, the really dry ones, boiled to almost mush in just enough water with an oxo cube or two, with diced onion, all just cooked but not too mushy.  Still with hardish bits in the spuds.

When to the consistancy of good shoveling cement/slurry, add diced corned beef and stir....

Serve with copious fresh ground black pepper and crusty bread and butter.

Food of the gods.....

How strange, this is what I cooked last night, and even tho' I say it myself it was rather good, and SWMBO AGREED.
 
 Serves 2
Ingredients
 7 oz (200 g) tinned corned beef
 2 large, very fresh eggs
 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
 1 rounded teaspoon grain mustard
 1 large onion 
 10 oz (275 g) Desirée or King Edward potatoes
 2-3 tablespoons groundnut or other flavourless oil
 salt and freshly milled black pepper
You will also need a heavy-based frying pan approximately 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter, a slightly smaller frying pan for the eggs and two plates placed in a warming oven.

Method
Start this off by cutting the corned beef in half lengthways, then, using a sharp knife, cut each half into four ½ inch (1 cm) pieces. Now chop these into ½ inch (1 cm) dice, then scoop them all up into a bowl. Combine the Worcestershire sauce and mustard in a cup and pour this all over the beef, mixing it around to distribute it evenly.

Now peel and halve the onion, cut the halves into thin slices and then cut these in half. The potatoes need to be washed and cut into ½ inch (1 cm) cubes, leaving the skin on, then place the cubes in a saucepan. Pour enough boiling water from the kettle to almost cover them, then add salt and a lid and simmer for just 5 minutes before draining them in a colander and then covering with a clean tea cloth to absorb the steam.

Now heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in the frying pan and, when it's smoking hot, add the sliced onions and toss them around in the oil to brown for about 3 minutes altogether, keeping the heat high, as they need to be very well browned at the edges.

After that, push all the onions to the edge of the pan and, still keeping the heat very high, add the potatoes and toss these around, too, because they also need to be quite brown. Add a little more oil here if necessary. Now add some seasoning, then, using a pan slice, keep turning the potatoes and onions over to hit the heat. After about 6 minutes, add the beef and continue to toss everything around to allow the beef to heat through (about 3 minutes).

After that, turn the heat down to its lowest setting and, in the smaller frying pan, fry the eggs in the remaining oil (. Serve the hash divided between the two warm plates with an egg on top of each and don't forget to have plenty of tomato ketchup on the table.

THANK YOU Delia
