Cheap Eats: Corned Beef Hash

Serves 4 | 95p per portion

Ingredients

  • 300g Potatoes, diced

  • 1 tin corned beef, chopped

  • 80g Watercress, Spinach, Rocket, chopped

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2tbsp Worcestershire sauce

 

Serve with either veg (add 12p/portion) or baked beans (add 20p/portion)

Method

  1. Par-boil your potatoes for around 7 minutes before draining the water – they should be slightly softened but still hold their shape.

  2. In a large, heavy-based pan, fry off the onions in a glug of oil until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and allow to cook for about 30 seconds.

  3. Then add the potatoes, corned beef and salad leaves – apply pressure with a spatula or fish slice. Occasionally turn the mixture but try not to disturb it too much.

  4. Add the Worcestershire sauce and push down on the mixture again. By this point, it should all be nicely browned.

  5. Serve with either baked beans or some cooked from frozen veg for a cost-effective dinner.
