TURKEY AND RED PEPPER HASH

Steps:

• Blend the tomatoes with their juice until smooth in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in a blender. Set aside.

• Add the turkey to the pan and season with salt, ground pepper, cinnamon, chili powder and cloves. Raise the heat to medium-high, and press the turkey into a layer in the pan. Let it brown for a minute or two. Continue to stir, press down into the pan and cook until all of the meat is nicely browned.
• Stir in the puréed tomatoes and vinegar, and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and caramelized slightly, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from the heat, serve on hot corn tortillas and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Alternatively, use as a filling for enchiladas, quesadillas or vegetables.

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.

RED POTATO AND SHISHITO PEPPER HASH RECIPE

• Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan, cook potatoes, undisturbed, until deep golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes.

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.

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season up the sliced steak with salt and pepper then add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan, the oil will smoke ¿ don't freak out, just add the meat and start searing it up. Brown the strips on all sides hit it with some Worcestershire sauce then push it off to 1 side of the pan. Add another tablespoon vegetable oil to the pan then the chiles and onions. Season up the veggies with salt and pepper then toss them around, searing up the edges, for another 1 to 2 minutes before combining all the meat and veggies together. Add in thyme and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, keeping everything moving around like a stir fry. Turn off heat and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the steak and veggies. Taste for seasoning.
• Drain potatoes then return them to the hot pot to evaporate some of the water content. Add the reserved garlic and scallion mixture to the potatoes along with the sour cream and start smashing away with a masher.
