HEALTHY PEPPER HASH

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and carrot. Peel potato, and then cut into 1/2-inch dice. Add to pan. Cook until vegetables soften and begin to brown, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium; add bell peppers and mushrooms, and cook until vegetables are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add turkey; saute until cooked through. Sprinkle with flour; stir to combine.
• Add sherry; scrape any browned bits from pan. Cook until most liquid has evaporated. Add stock, salt, black pepper, chile powder, and paprika; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cook until liquid thickens and reduces by half. Stir in parsley. Serve hot, topped with egg if using.

CORNED BEEF HASH WITH HOT CHERRY PEPPERS

Steps:

• Put the diced potatoes in a medium saucepan and fill with water to cover by an inch. Season with salt and TASTE the water--it should taste salty like the ocean. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook the potatoes until JUST cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes, spread them out on a baking sheet and let them cool completely. HINT, HINT: All this can TOTALLY be a do-ahead!!!
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onion, season with salt, and bring to medium heat. Cook the onion until soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the cherry peppers and corned beef and cook until the beef is just beginning to brown and the peppers are very fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the pickling liquid and cook an additional 30 seconds. Add the potatoes and cook 1 to 2 minutes before stirring in 1/2 cup water. Continue to cook until the liquid cooks out, 2 to 3 minutes. Press the mixture against the bottom of the pan, turn the heat to high and cook another 4 to 5 minutes without stirring to get a nice brown, crispy bottom.
• Reseason if needed. Remove from the heat, toss in the parsley and serve with 2 eggs fried over easy per person.

PEPPER HASH - AMERICAN PIKLIZ

Steps:

• Combine the vinegars. Add the sugar and salt to the vinegars, and stir until they've dissolved.
• Slice the cabbage as thinly as you can. I do it by hand and it is fairly tedious (this is the reason for the long prep-time in the recipe). Another option is to use the food processor, which results in a dish the consistency of KFC slaw; Be careful - it is really easy to end up with cabbage mush.
• Seed & slice the green pepper, also very thinly.
• If using the scotch bonnets or habaneros, seed & slice those super thinly. These are really spicy peppers (for those unfamiliar); handling them can burn your hands, and the burn can last a few days. I use disposable gloves when I cook with scotch bonnets or habaneros.
• Place the cabbage, green peppers, and all spices and seeds in a large container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the vinegar mixture over it. Shake.
• The pepper hash can be eaten immediately. The flavor meld well over time. It lasts in the fridge for several weeks.
