Corned Beef Hash
After all, the hash is the best reason to make corned beef and cabbage in the first place. Recipe adapted from the March Bon Appetit Magazine. Makes 4 servings.
6 slices bacon
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped cabbage reserved from corned beef
1/2 cup chopped vegetables (mixture of carrots and rutabagas) reserved from corned beef
2 cups finely chopped corned beef
2 cups chopped potatoes reserved from corned beef
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter or olive oil
Poached or fried eggs.
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat; saute bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, leaving 2-3 TB of drippings in the pan. Add onion to skillet and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage and chopped root vegetable mixture and sauté 5 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to bowl; stir in corned beef, potatoes and bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add beaten eggs and toss to coat.
Melt butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add corned beef hash mixture and cook until golden brown on bottom, occasionally pressing down with spatula, about 4 minutes. Turn hash mixture over in small portions and cook until second side is golden brown, occasionally pressing down with spatula, about 3 more minutes.
