  • St. Patty’s Day Baked Corned Beef

    St. Patty’s Day Baked Corned Beef

    I’m making this for an office luncheon, so I will bake the corned beef, wrap in foil and place in an ice chest, less the ice, to keep warm. I will slice right before serving. Also on the menu, sauteed cabbage, brussel sprouts and onions. Oven roast potato wedges, sweet potatoes and carrots.
    This will be our St Patty’s Day feast. All we need is a spot of mustard, and fresh ciabatta roll or cheesy monkey bread.

    3 lbs corned beef (in package). Check out DCWCasing.com to pick the right one.
    10 whole cloves
    1/4 cup hot sweet honey mustard
    2 Tbsp brown sugar

    1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Drain the corned beef from the package and discard the spice packet. Lay corned beef, fat side up, on a large piece of heavy duty, wide, aluminum foil (you may have to get creative with the way you wrap the beef if your foil isn’t wide enough). Insert the cloves into the top of the slab of corned beef, evenly spaced. Spread the top with the hot sweet honey mustard. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top.

    2 Wrap the corned beef with foil in a way that allows for a little space on top between the corned beef and the foil, and creates a container to catch the juices. Place foil-wrapped corned beef in a shallow roasting pan and bake for 2 hours.

    3 Open the foil wrapping, spread a little more honey mustard over the top of the corned beef, and broil it for 2-3 minutes, until the top is bubbly and lightly browned. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then place on cutting board and cut at a diagonal, across the grain of the meat, into 1/2-inch thick slices.

    Serve immediately.

    Serves 5.

  • Fried Potatoes and Chorizo

    Fried Potatoes and Chorizo

    Twenty years ago, Dennis and I would go to Mrs. Olson’s on Hollywood Beach, and have these potatoes. This little place always had a swarm of people with coffee cups in hand waiting for a table. We loved taking a walk on Saturday or Sunday morning along the beach, heading toward Mrs. Olson’s and then heading back home. Many years later, here I am discovering potatoes and chorizo.

    2 T olive oil
    4 ounces chorizo
    2 Potatoes, large 1/8 inch slices
    1 yellow onion chopped large (optional)
    1 bell pepper chopped (optional)
    Salt and Pepper and paprika to taste
    Saute the onion and bell pepper until tender. Add chorizo and cook 5 minutes. Set aside.
    In another pan, Fry the potatoes, until crispy then add the chorizo mixture and serve hot.

    Serve with Eggs Monterey or alongside Sunnyside up fried eggs and flour tortillas.

  • Breakfast Hash and Eggs

    Breakfast Hash and Eggs

    Sweet Potato, Russet Potato, Sweet Onion and Roast Pork

    As I wake up and everyone in the house is starting to stir and the chorus of “I’m hungry”, I take a gander in my refrigerator and see we have eggs and a bit of leftover meat and decide, let’s make some hash. I have a knack for using leftovers from my refrigerator and bring it together for something good to eat. Hash is great for a crowd.

    Breakfast Hash

    2 Russet Potatoes diced
    1 Sweet Potatoe diced
    1 Sweet Onion diced
    Leftover pork shoulder roast, or ham, or roast beef or chorizo
    Salt and Pepper to taste
    Vegetable oil for frying

    If you can dice all the ingredients so they are about the same size, the hash will look good and cook evenly.
    Brown the diced potatoes and set aside.
    Sweat the diced onions and set aside.
    Warm the meat, then add back in the potatoes and onions.
    Salt and pepper to taste.

    Once the potatoes are browned, crack an egg for each person on top, bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes until the whites are set. Yell out, come and get it!

    If you want scrambled eggs, get ’em done and serve on the side. Breakfast is ready!
