Corned beef hash.

I've been looking at recipes for this and they vary a lot.

Some add tinned tomatoes to it which makes it something you'd serve in a soup bowl.

Some fry it with potatoes & onion.

I've never actually had corned beef hash but it sounds like something quick & tasty to make when I don't much feel like cooking.

How do you make yours?

Re: Corned beef hash.

Just toss the potato (par boiled), onion, corned beef in a wok ... basically.

Serve with ketchup.

My Mum used to make this, and I've made it myself

I was the chef in an old peoples home, we used to make this regularly
It's very simple, and the trick, for want of a better expression, is to resist the temptation to make it too complicated

Ingredients -

onions
potatoes
carrots
a small amount of swede
corned beef
A generous amount beef stock, like OXO cubes, but not anything that will thicken it, like gravy powder
salt & pepper
minimum amount of water; adjust if needed; you can always add more, but it's not so easy to take it out

Roughly chop/slice/dice these
Put everything in a pan and simmer till the veg are soft, and the potatoes start to fall

The quantities don't need to be exact, work them out and adjust them to suit yourself
But there should be the same amount of spuds as everything else put together; remember, this is a cheap & simple dish

The lumps of corned beef will probably disintegrate; don't worry about it

Often served with pickled red cabbage

I've never frozen it, but I don't see why not, just like any other stew or casserole
In fact it would be easier to make up a big batch then freeze smaller portions - again just like any other stew or casserole, it tends to grow on you!

I've just Searched YouTube, and there are several. possibly dozens of recipes, but I haven't watched any of them - over to you!

That's how I remember my mother making it Zuludog, except she would put slices of potato on top (rather than chunks into it) and put it in the oven to cook like a hotpot.

Re: Corned beef hash.

When it comes to corned beef hash, I'm a purest.
Finely chopped C.B. hash and diced par-boiled potatoes. Period
Fried in a non-stick skillet until it gets bits of crispiness.
No gravy, mustard, onions or any garnish like tomatoes.
Made for breakfast served with eggs and toast.

Re: Corned beef hash.

I would also just use potato, onion and the CB. See no reason to add anything else.

Re: Corned beef hash.

Potato, onion & egg.

serve with a sprinkling on cheese.

Re: Corned beef hash.

Sounds tasty - but not sure I could cope with it for breakfast!

Re: Corned beef hash.

I love corned beef hash
I always make a hole in the middle of it when i dish it onto a plate, then i fill the hole with veggies, it has to be one of my fave meals.
