Okay, here we are (this is from Lindsay Bareham's A Wolf In the Kitchen - fab book)
Serves 2 hungry people
20 mins prep, 30 mins cooking
requires a large frying pan and a saucepan
500g potatoes, charlotte or other waxy sort for preference
3 tbsp cooking oil, lard or dripping
2 small onions or a bunch of spring onions
4 tbsp passata or 2 tbps tomato ketchup or 4 medium tomatoes (I used passata as I had some spare)
1 large can corned beef, approx 350g
2 tbps worcester sauce
2 eggs
The recipe also specified 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley but I didn't have any and didn't feel it lacked it.
Put the spuds unpeeled in a pan, cover with water and boil for 15 mins until tender
Peel & finely chop the onions, add to the frying pan with 1 tbsp of the cooking fat and cook for 6-8 mins on medium heat until soft and brown in places
If using real tomatoes, chop them quite small, deseeding/deskinning if you want.
Chop the corned beef into small, kebab-sized chunks.
By now your spuds should be done - put the pan under the cold water tap and let it run for a couple of minutes. Peel the spuds, dice into medium smallish chunks (smaller than the beef)
Push onions to the side of the pan, add 1 tbsp of the cooking fat, add the potatoes, then put the onions on top of the spuds and cook for 5 mins over a brisk heat.
Add the corned beef, tomatoes/passata/ketchup and the worcester sauce. Season with pepper (plenty of salt in the corned beef), stir and leave to cook for 5 minutes.
Scoop up the bottom layer (if you can!) so the hash is more or less turned over and cook for a further 10 mins.
Divide the hash out onto two hot plates and using the final tbsp of fat, quickly fry the eggs.
Place an egg on top of each hash and sprinkle with the parsley (if using).
Yum
