Country Hash

This hearty country hash is a sophisticated take on a rustic breakfast classic, making it an excellent choice for a weekend brunch or a filling midweek supper. By combining tender shredded beef brisket with the earthy sweetness of swede and the mild heat of charred poblano chillies, this dish offers a wonderful depth of flavour. The addition of diced apple provides a subtle acidity that cuts through the richness of the beef, ensuring every forkful is perfectly balanced.

As a dairy-free recipe using high-quality fats and fresh produce, it provides a protein-rich meal that keeps you satisfied for longer. Serving the crisp, golden hash with a perfectly fried egg allows the yolk to create a natural sauce that binds the ingredients together. Whether you are using up leftover roasted meats or starting from scratch, this versatile one-pan wonder is a true crowd-pleaser for any savoury food lover.

How to make Country Hash

Finely shred brisket and transfer to a bowl, then mix with mustard and Worcestershire sauce until combined well.

Roast poblanos on their sides on racks of gas burners over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blistered and slightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes. (Or grill on rack of a grill pan about 2 inches from heat.) Immediately transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly, then let stand 10 minutes. Carefully rub off skins from poblanos. Cut open lengthwise and remove stems and seeds, including attached ribs. Wipe poblanos clean with a paper towel if necessary, then cut into 1/4-inch dice and transfer to a large bowl.

Peel potato, rutabaga, and apple and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, then cook in 60g butter with 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden in spots and just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to bowl with poblanos.

Cook onion in 3 tablespoons butter with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in same skillet, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to bowl with poblano mixture. Stir brisket into hash until combined.

Preheat oven to 121°C with rack in middle.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Add half of hash to skillet and cook, turning portions occasionally, until browned and crisp in spots, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a large (17-by 11-inch) 4-sided sheet pan and keep warm in oven. Cook remaining hash in same manner in 1 tablespoon butter. Transfer to sheet pan in oven.

Rinse and wipe out skillet. Fry eggs in 2 batches with 1 tablespoon butter per batch over medium heat. Serve eggs over hash.
