Savory Pork Hash
Total time: 25 minutes
Not a traditional meat for hash but the perfect way to use up the leftovers from a braised pork. Toss in any leftover gravy or sauce and you have a moist hash with a bit of caramel crunchiness from the sautéed vegetables.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 - 2 ribs celery about 1 cup
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbs chicken stock
- 12oz (360gr) pork leftover roast or chops, tenderloin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 2 tbs whole grain mustard
- 1/2 cup leftover gravy or sauce or
- 1/2 cup (4oz, 120ml) chicken stock or apple juice, 1/4 tsp rosemary, 1/2 tsp cornstarch maizena
Instructions:
- Cut the potatoes - the long way, first in half, then in half again. Now slice (the short way) about 1/8" (.25cm) thick.
