SWEET CURE BACON HASH

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and carrots in a large pan of boiling water. Cook for 10 minutes, add the greens and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.
• Place the bacon rashers and shallot in a large frying pan and cook until the bacon becomes crispy.
• Meanwhile, drain the vegetables and either mix together or mash to combine well. Preheat the grill.
• Add the potato mixture to the pan and roughly spread out. Dot with the butter and season. Place under a hot grill and cook until browned.
• Either serve from the pan or turn out onto a plate and cut into wedges.
• Serve with your favourite ketchup or chutney or make a nutty herb pesto by whizzing together some hazelnuts, olive oil, seasoning, basil, mint and parsley.
• This is also a great recipe for using up any leftover cooked vegetables. Just heat through the cooked vegetables for a few minutes in the microwave, roughly chop/mash together and use in the recipe after stage 1.

BACON AND SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Chop sweet potatoes into small squares. You can either peel them or keep the skin on.
• Place sweet potato squares in a pot, cover them in cold water, and cook them on high heat until the water starts boiling. Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
• When you can poke the sweet potatoes easily with a fork, but they wouldn't be easy to mash ("al dente"), they are done.
• Drain sweet potatoes and then shock them with cold water (run cold water over the colander), put them on a paper towel, and blot off excess water.
• Take a pan and put it on medium high heat, coat the pan with extra virgin olive oil, and then put the bacon on it.
• Cook bacon for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until it's cooked through, but not too crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan, but leave the fat.
• Now, add the sweet potatoes to the pan, frying them in the bacon fat, turning occasionally with a spatula or wooden spoon. After it starts to brown, add the scallions, bacon, paprika, salt and pepper, and mix it all up.
