This Simple Hash Recipe is Versatile; Try it With Any Combination of Root Vegetables
Serves 4 as a side dish
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp Cooking Oil
- ½ cup chopped Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic, peeled and minced or crushed
- 4 cups mixed Root Vegetables, washed, trimmed and cut into ½ inch pieces
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 bunch Swiss Chard, washed
Directions:
- Warm oil in a large high-sided frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until beginning to soften.
- Increase heat to medium high and add the root vegetables, paprika, chili flakes, salt and pepper, as well as ¼ cup of water. Stir regularly and fry for 15-20 minutes. Once the water has evaporated make sure to stir occasionally so the roots can caramelize on the bottom of the pan, but not burn. If the pan gets too dry, and more oil, 1 tbsp at a time.
- Meanwhile, separate the chard leaves from the stems. Thinly slice the stems, and roughly chop the leaves. Add the stems to the pan of vegetables for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Add the leaves for the last minute and mix just so they start to wilt. Remove from heat and taste, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
Enjoy!
*Note* This recipe is great with fried eggs for breakfast, or alongside most meat or bean dishes for dinner. You can also use almost any root vegetables, potatoes, beets, rutabaga, parsnips, carrots, or sweet potatoes. Mix and match and have fun!
