Corned Hake Potatoes And Pork Scraps Food

POTATO AND CORN SKILLET HASH

Steps:

• Spread the potatoes in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Add 2 cups water, the vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook, stirring halfway through, until the water evaporates and the potatoes are softened, about 20 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium high and add the olive oil. Cook, without stirring, until the potatoes are very browned on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes. Using a firm metal spatula, scrape up the potatoes from the bottom of the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring and scraping often, until the potatoes are a rich golden brown and crisp all over, 20 to 30 more minutes. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons olive oil as needed if the potatoes are too dry. Remove to a plate.
• Add the corn to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Return the potatoes to the skillet, stir well and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in about half the herbs. Top with the remaining herbs.

CORNED BEEF WITH CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place corned beef in a large pot. Add enough water to cover by 2" and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until very tender, 3-3 1/2 hours.
• Once beef has been simmering for 2 1/2 hours, arrange racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F. Toss potatoes, 1/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub cabbage wedges with 1/4 cup oil; season on all sides with 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Arrange on another rimmed baking sheet. Roast, turning cabbage, tossing potatoes, and rotating sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 45-40 minutes. (The cabbage might be done before the potatoes.)
• Meanwhile, coarsely crush cloves, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes with mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and remaining 3/4 cup oil and cook, stirring, until garlic sizzles, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl. Stir in vinegar, honey, and 2 tsp. salt. Let cool, then stir in dill.
• Transfer beef to a cutting board and let sit 10 minutes. Trim off excess fat, then thinly slice against the grain. Serve alongside roasted cabbage and potatoes with dill sauce drizzled over.

HAKE WITH PAPRIKA OIL POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water with a bay leaf for about 12 mins, or until tender. Drain, reserving the cooking water.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil with a bay leaf in a non-stick frying pan. Add the red onion, season with salt and pepper and fry gently. After 5 mins add a tbsp of white wine and cook for a further 10-15 mins, until softened, fragrant and starting to caramelise.
• Season the hake steaks and rub with a little olive oil. Put them in a roasting tin and pour in the wine and 100ml of the potato water, along with the tbsp olive oil and parsley sprig. Cook for 10 mins in the oven, or until the steaks are opaque and flaking.
• Cook the broccoli in salted water for 3-6 mins (depending on thickness) until tender. Season with lemon juice and black pepper. Pour the rest of the oil into the onion pan and gently warm it - you want it warm, but not scalding or sizzling. Stir in the smoked paprika, then turn off the heat.
• When the fish is ready, toss the potatoes through the onions and warm oil, and divide between plates. Remove the fish from the water with a fish slice and put on the plates with the broccoli. Drizzle over the remaining paprika oil and serve.

PORK CHOPS WITH CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; cook in skillet until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir mustard and thyme into the butter; season with salt and pepper. Whisk flour into the butter mixture to make a thick paste. Slowly whisk chicken broth and half-and-half into the paste mixture until smooth. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken into a sauce, about 5 minutes; remove from heat.
• Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with about half the potato slices and diced onion. Sprinkle about half the Cheddar cheese over the potato mixture. Arrange the pork chops over cheese layer. Layer remaining potatoes and onion atop the pork chops. Pour the sauce evenly over the potato mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Top dish with remaining Cheddar cheese, switch oven to broil, and continue baking until the top is browned and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
