Corned Beef Hash : By The Hairy Bikers

This recipe dates back a few years and is from the Hairy Bikers who were a pair of English celebrity chefs comprising David Myers and Si King, whose television programmes combined cooking with motorcycling travelogue. Sadly Dave Myers died in February 2024, but their many recipes are still very popular.

So here is how to make corned beef hash the Hairy Bikers way, with a slightly healthier twist on the British breakfast or brunch classic. Made with a can of lean corned beef, it's a proper feast of a breakfast and by using carrot and celeriac instead of potato, you cut down the calories/carbs and add extra flavour. 

Ingredients
Serves Four

200g celeriac, finely diced
200g carrots, finely diced
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp Dijon mustard
200g can lean or reduced-fat corned beef or equivalent, diced
100ml beef stock
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Low-cal olive oil spray
4 eggs

Tips

Possible substitutes for celeriac could be parsnips, jicama, rutabaga/swede, turnips. 

Method

1. Put the celeriac and carrots in a saucepan and pour over just boiled water to cover. Bring the water back to the boil, cover the pan and cook the vegetables for 7 minutes. They should be just cooked through. Drain thoroughly.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and cook it over a medium heat until it’s starting to soften. As soon as the vegetables are ready, add them to the frying pan along with the corned beef. Cook for 5 minutes until a crust has formed on the bottom of the mixture.
3. Put the tomato purée and mustard into a small bowl or jug with the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce and whisk well.
4. Pour this mixture over the corned beef and vegetables and stir thoroughly. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring every so often, until there are plenty of crusty brown bits interspersed through the mix.
5. While the hash finishes cooking, heat another frying pan and spray it with oil. Add the eggs and fry them until the whites have just set. Serve the hash with the eggs on top.
