Corned Beef Recipes

Options
hi
mother-in-law insists on sending up food parcels, and something she regularly sends is a packet (large) of corned beef and no matter how often i try to tell her not to, she carries on, and no-one here will eat it..was wondering is there anyway i can do some sort of a corned beef hash with it-even just a small one for husband..would get another packet to make up the amounts if need be
any ideas..?

    Is this fresh sliced corned beef or a tin?
  • We rarely eat corned beef, but if we do its either in a sarnie:D ..or in a pie. This is what I do:

    Boil up some spuds
    Fry up some onions
    Mash together
    Cube (easier to mash) corned beef and add to mash above
    Put in an oven proof dish and put a pastry top on


    serve with veg...delish.

    I do the above with corned beef but without the pastry. I put dollops of the potato/onion/corned beef mix in a roasting tin and place a knob of butter on top of each and then cook for about 20 minutes. Some people also cook chopped carrots until soft and mix this in too. I have a proper recipe for corned beef hash somewhere. I will look it out for you.

    i do an easy corned beef hash which is just mashed potato mixed with corned beef,in an oven dish and topped with grated cheese and sliced tomatoes

    what about mini corned beef pasties ? my youngest doesnt like corned beef but he will eat it in a pasty lol
  • Hi
    I do a similar corned beef hash, but I fry the onions and corned beef together and then mash the corned beef mix with the potatoes. Put it under the grill to brown on the top. Delicious with tomato ketchup- real comfort food
  • One meal we make with corned beef is curried spaghetti,it's a recipe that my dad produced in his naval days,it sounds disgusting but it tastes great

    Put some spaghetti on to cook (however much you normally use)
    Fry off a large sliced onion,add 2 tblsp of medium curry paste,then add a can of chopped up corned beef,not the low fat variety as it doesn't mulch down :confused: add about 3 tbsp of tomato puree,1 tsp mixed spice and up to 1/2 pint of water,adding the water until the beef melts down and you get a nice sauce,take off the heat and add a beaten egg stirring quickly so as it doesn't go lumpy,then add the cooked spaghetti and mix all up,lovely!

    I do corn beef hash in the same way I'd do shepherds pie - fry onions/mushrooms/corned beef, add tinned tomatoes and herbs, and top with mash and cheese browned under the grill.
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.
  • i do the cornbeef hash.. as mentioned above.. but any left over cooked veg i put in as well...and do a pasty pie...like an apple pie but with the cornbeef mix... and eat with baked beans.. or put a slice in hubby's lunc box...

  • Fry and onion and pepper, cube a tin of corned beef and add. Stir in a small tin of sweetcorn and a tin of beans in chilli sauce or baked beans with a dollop of brown sauce. Serve with rice and tortillas.
