Corned Beef Hash

No, No No Jay...this the way you do it.
one large potato for each person you are serving....cubed.
1 large or two medium sized onions finely chopped.
Place these ingredients into a large pan of slightly salted water and bring to the boil.
Simmer for about 25 minutes or until the potatoes begin to 'fall' slightly(this means that they look a bit frayed around the edges)........drain a little of the water off the potatoes.......then chuck into the mix 4oz(or 100grms) of corned beef for each person being served...give it a good stir untill all the corned beef is mixed with the spuds and onions........you could eat it at this point, but I would strongly suggest that you add about a tablespoon of tomato ketchup and leave to cook for a further five or ten minutes.......taste, and add any seasoning to personal taste.

If you want to turn this into spud pie.....put it into an ovenproof dish and put a shortcrust pasty lid on it(bought pastry is Ok for this - but I like to make my own) Bake on gas mark 7 for 25 minutes or untill the pastry is golden brown.
Serve with mushy peas, pickled beetroot or red cabbage.

That's how I do it, and I have never had anyone complain...or for that matter leave a scorrick.
Neither have I Margaret, I've even been known to warm it up three days on the trot :D
 
And when you do that each plateful is better than the last......it is always better for 'standing'...shame that in our house, it doesn't get the chance.
Ah in my house there's only me and anybody trying to get my hash is liable to get their fingers chopped off :D
 
I am just in the process of using up the bum end of a joint of beef that we had for Sunday tea......it was put into a casserole with carrots red onions and chopped portobello mushrooms for Tuesday nights tea(served with steamed cauliflower, carrots and green beans) there was a dish of the casserole left...mainly lots of thick gravy with a few lumps of meat in it.....today I have chopped two carrots, two spuds a leek..these have been quickly fried and then sotened with some stock(home made)...the remains ot eh casserole have been tossed into the mis along with a cup of frozen peas and a handful of broad beans.
This will make a filling lunch for Ma, Nicola and me...and there is not a scrap of the beef joint left.

OK...tater hash it ain't but it is good, nourishing, tasty grub at not much cost.
 
I like suet crust, but it doesn't like me.
Strangely though, I can eat suet dumplings.

have you tried the vegetable one? My southern hubby had never tried oxtail so I asked my butcher for fresh suet to make dumplings, apparently they cannot compete on price with the packet stuff so don't
 
Before they became available countrywide my Mum used to send a coolbag full of Hollands stuff back with me when I visited," JUST IN CASE"of what I never knew) On a different tack do you still get a bloke round the pubs selling pots of pigeon peas ? haven't seen those for years

Big Jack who had the Castle in Accy in the late 70s used to put Black peas on for supper on Pool Nights, its about 5 or six years since I saw the block with the seafood basket round the pubs Cashy, I last saw him in Ossy Con whether he's been in since I don't know, used to get a jar of cockles:)
