Pastrami Hash With Confit Potatoes Parsley And Shallots Recipes

PASTRAMI HASH WITH CONFIT POTATOES, PARSLEY AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour in canola oil to cover. Turn the heat to medium, bring to a simmer, turn heat to low and simmer until potatoes are just cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool, at least 30 minutes or overnight. (Oil can be reused.)
• Peel potatoes and cut into large dice. In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and distribute evenly in pan, pressing down lightly. Cook, undisturbed, 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. With a large spatula, gently turn potatoes over (don't worry if they break up) and redistribute in pan. Cook 4 minutes, until well crisped. (Do this in two batches if pan is not large enough.)
• Stir in butter, shallots, garlic, parsley and pastrami or other meat, and cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, just until pastrami is heated through and shallots are just soft, about 3 minutes.
• Serve with eggs on top and hot sauce on the side.

PASTRAMI & SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp oil, the paprika and seasoning. Spread over a shallow roasting tin and cook in the oven for 30 mins. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan and add the onion, garlic and thyme. Cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 15-20 mins until softened and starting to caramelise. Stir occasionally; if it starts to catch, add a splash of water. Remove the lid, add the pastrami and fry for another 5 mins until the pastrami is hot and starting to crisp.
• Bring a large pan of water to a simmer on a medium heat. Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven, add to the onion pan and stir. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the water and simmer for 2-3 mins until the whites are cooked and the yolks are still soft. Stir the parsley through the hash, divide between 4 bowls and top with the poached eggs.

PASTRAMI HASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a medium-sized ovenproof frying or skillet pan. Add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat for 15 mins or until golden brown and crisp. Season to taste.
• Nestle bundles of the pastrami into the pan, sprinkle over the emmental, then make two indentations in the potatoes and gently crack the eggs into each one. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 8-10 mins or until the egg whites have just set with the yolk still runny. Season the eggs with pepper, then top the hash with the gherkins. Finish with a squirt of mustard, if you like.

PASTRAMI AND POTATO HASH WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat butter and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes and winter squash and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 25-30 minutes.
• Add leeks and garlic to hash and season with salt and pepper. Using the back of a spoon or a spatula, lightly smash vegetables. Add pastrami and cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is warmed through and flavors have melded, 10-12 minutes.
• Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Carefully crack eggs into skillet one at a time and season with salt and pepper. Cook until whites are set and slightly puffed but yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.
• Divide hash among shallow bowls and top each with an egg; scatter chives over top. Serve with sour cream alongside, if desired.

EASY PAN FRIED POTATOES, SHALLOTS WITH PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Potatoes -- Add the potatoes to a bowl or I prefer using a pie plate and add just a tablespoon or so of water and cover with plastic wrap. Now microwave. I like to start at 5 minutes and then check. You want them slightly tender but still firm and not falling apart - remember you are going to finish then in the pan. Once they are done, just remove from the microwave and drain well, you don't want water to hit a hot pan.
• Pan Fry -- Add the shallot and garlic to a medium saute pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter on medium heat and cook 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high to high and add the other tablespoon of butter, potatoes and parsley. I like to let them set for a couple of minutes to brown on the bottom before flipping and stirring breaking them up slightly and then again a couple of minutes on the other side before I stir or flip and again breaking them up a bit. They will start to break apart which is fine. Then add the scallions, salt and pepper and serve.

CREAMY SHALLOT AND PARSLEY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, parsley, shallot, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender. Add egg yolk. Blend together for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Keep the blender running as you add olive oil in a long, steady stream. Continue to blend until fully emulsified. Serve immediately.
