Corned Beef Made in a Microwave

This is a microwave corned beef hash without onion, which wasn't how the twenty-four hours started. I had intended to put onion into the dish, but it turned out my onions were past their best, so I reluctantly binned them!  If yous do accept onions, then just add them into the recipe below, either raw/chopped finely, or fried – add together them when yous combine the mash and meat.  I usually have a pack of dried onions in the closet, but I'd got to the end of the final pack and it'd slipped my mind to replace them! Dried onions get added to a lot of my recipes equally they're tasty and groovy for food cheats recipes!

Information technology all started with a conversation about corned beefiness prices and how what used to be a cheap meal was really quite expensive these days (compared to how much it used to cost). Then, by coincidence, I was passing through the supermarket at the end of the day and I spotted a yellowish sticker pack of corned beefiness and I instinctively grabbed it. At present, this was a bit of a mistake as it was a 400g pack of Basics corned beef slices – way too much for just me, but I was determined to make a corned beef hash.

At first I thought I'd make a wearisome cooker corned beef hash, but the more I thought about it, the more sense information technology made to me to go some instant gratification, so I decided to use the microwave instead.

Here's my recipe, without the onions I'd expected to employ! This has actually made two HUGE portions, to be honest, but I did manage to eat my way through one of them!

Ingredients:

• 200 grams corned beef. Slices or tinned, it doesn't matter
• 900 grams potatoes. Any potatoes, I but used what I had, which were white. Quantity isn't a fixed scientific discipline either.
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
• i teaspoon paprika, optional
• 1 sprinkling of black pepper
• 1 large splash of Worcestershire sauce, optional
• 1 huge squirt of tomato ketchup, optional
• lxxx grams hard cheese, grated

Method:

1. Boil the potatoes – I did this in the microwave, using my microwave steamer.  I cooked them until they were only mashable, not overdone or sloppy.
2. Break upward the slices of corned beef into a bowl and add the other ingredients (except the cheese). If you've opened a can then just cut information technology into minor, crude, pieces/chunks.
3. Give information technology all a stir to brand sure all the corned beef is coated with the sauces/spices.
4. Mash the potatoes, with a small knob of butter, and add together them to the corned beef – combine the ii.
   Note: At this point I realised I had far too much for ane meal, so I carve up the quantity in half and put half in the fridge in a lidded Microwave Noodle Bowl for afterward (or I might freeze information technology).
   Information technology is possible to consume it at this point, the corned beefiness is withal common cold, but safe as it can exist eaten cold.
5. Microwave the mix for 2-3 minutes, stir and microwave for another i infinitesimal
6. Stir the mix and top with grated cheese, microwave for a terminal ane minute (until the cheese has melted)
7. Serve.

What exercise you serve with corned beefiness hash?  I normally serve mine with broiled beans, heated in the microwave of grade!

I used my Microwave Noodle Bowl to melt this. It's a simple takeaway-fashion lidded jug and a great slice of cookware that lets you accept meals to work for dejeuner and microwave them. It seemed daft to then use a plate, so I microwaved the beans and tipped those into the aforementioned bowl as the corned beef hash and ate information technology directly from the basin!

Here'south a photograph of my corned beef hash in the microwave bowl; the bowl is larger than it looks:

I'd forgotten just how quick and like shooting fish in a barrel corned beef hash is – and tasty too.

You can freeze corned beef if you do open a can, or pack of corned beef slices, and don't use it all, or if you buy a larger pack than yous need as it'south more economical.  You tin can also freeze this dish if you like to do batch cooking and freezing (I tend to swallow most things asap, and so I am not stockpiling food I'll never become round to eating!)

Full cost for the i, huge, portion (including beans) I ate was near 70p because I managed to get the inexpensive corned beefiness, at full price information technology'd take worked out at £1.20.

As it's "only me", there was no need for a plate and I ate it straight from my prep bowl 🙂 Less washing up, that makes this a double winner!

Browning Corned Beef Hash

If you want to get the extra mile, and so yous might want to brown it under a grill.  Simply grease a grill-proof dish, tip the corned beef hash into the dish and put it under the grill (broiler) for 8-10 minutes.

For me, it'southward all about rapidly feeding myself – and, as I've always said "There are no extra points for presentation".

Q&A:

• Tin can you use tinned potatoes in corned beef hash?  Yeah, they're potatoes, so why not. If that's what you've got, or you lot want to use upwards a tin can of potatoes, then go alee.  I'd mash them up.
• Can you lot apply powdered potato, like Smash, in this?  Yes, it's just mash – just don't brand it too sloppy.
