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.

Serve the hash right in the skillet. ShareTweetPin129 Shares 4: Meanwhile, in a second skillet, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When sizzling, crack in the eggs. Fry until cooked to taste, 2 minutes per side for yolks that are still a little runny (that's how I like them), turning with a spatula. Slide the fried eggs on top of the hash. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and dig in. ShareTweetPin129 Shares

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.

PRIMETIME PASTRAMI

Steps:

• For the brine: In a large stockpot, add half of the water, the brown sugar, kosher salt, curing salt, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, juniper berries, chile flakes, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon and star anise and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 30 minutes. Add the remaining water with some ice to chill the brine.
• For the rub: Grind the peppercorns, coriander and juniper until crushed but still a little chunky. Add to a mixing bowl. Add the salt, brown sugar, chile flakes and granulated garlic and stir to combine.
• For the pastrami: First, clean all the fat off the brisket including the "V" between the two muscles, then follow the fat between the two muscles and separate them making a flat and a cap.
• Transfer the brine to a large hotel pan or roasting pan. Add the brisket and refrigerate at least 5 days and no more than 10 days. Make sure the brisket is stirred once a day to get an evenly brined brisket.
• After a minimum of 5 days, prepare a smoker for 225 degrees F.
• Remove the pastrami, rinse it and blot dry with paper towels. Thoroughly rub the brined brisket with the pastrami rub. Place in smoker and cook for 8 hours until the internal temperature reaches 210 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.

• Heat a large skillet over low heat.
• Heat pastrami slices in the skillet with a few drops of water until fat begins to turn from white to translucent, about 5 minutes.

QUICK PASTRAMI HASH & EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add potatoes, onion, bell pepper, paprika and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then spread in an even layer in the pan and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes. Stir in pastrami, spread back into an even layer and cook undisturbed again until a crust starts to form on the bottom, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Just after you add the pastrami to the hash, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slip them, one at a time, into the skillet, taking care not to break the yolks. Season with the remaining pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes for soft-set yolks.
• Divide the hash among 4 plates and top each serving with an egg.
