Corned-beef Hash with Fried
Eggs
I love
Serves : 2
Ingredients:
7oz / 200g Tinned Corned Beef
2 Large, Very Fresh Eggs
2 tbsp Worcestershire
Sauce
1 Rounded tsp Grain
Mustard
1 Large Onion
10oz / 275g Desirée
or King Edward
Potatoes
2 – 3 tbsp Groundnut or
Other Flavourless Oil
Salt and Freshly
Milled Black Pepper
Instructions:
1.
Start this
off by cutting the corned
beef in half lengthways, then, using a sharp knife, cut each half into four
½ inch / 1cm pieces.
2.
Now chop
these into ½ inch / 1cm dice, then scoop them all up
into a bowl.
3.
Combine
the Worcestershire
sauce and mustard
in a cup and pour this all over the beef, mixing it around to
distribute it evenly.
4.
Now peel
and halve the onion,
cut
the halves into thin slices and then cut these in half.
5.
The potatoes need to be
washed and cut into ½ inch / 1cm cubes, leaving the skin on, then
place the cubes in a saucepan.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
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.
9.
Now add
some seasoning, then, using a pan slice, keep turning the potatoes and onions over to hit the
heat.
10.
After
about 6 minutes, add the beef
and continue to toss everything around to allow the beef to heat through
(about 3 minutes).
11.
After
that, turn the heat down to its lowest setting and, in the smaller frying pan, fry the eggs in
the remaining oil.
12.
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.
