It’s cold outdoors, and one of the best remedies is eating body warming comfort foods. I just finished cooking a skillet of Corned Beef Hash, for brunch, Veganista style, of course! I kept wondering what to fix with the Beyond Beef in my fridge. I already had tacos and hamburgers. I also had some potatoes and onions; so, I thought, I’ll make some Corned beef hash. It turned out delicious and satiating. It made me feel warm–and a LOT relaxed!
My version has a few secret ingredients: Liquid Smoke, Red Pepper Flakes, and Liquid Amino Acids, which give it a kick! That combination gives a heightened relaxed feeling. The taste is addictive. I already had two bowls! I truly believe that #FoodGivesMood!
I did a little online research: What is corned beef hash? Wikipedia gives an interesting history. For example, the word hash is a French derived word, hacher, or to chop. Originally, it was a way to use left overs. (I think it was also a way to make a little go a long way by finely chopping the ingredients). Of course there are various versions of Hash based on what you have in YOUR fridge. Also, hash is considered a breakfast food. I don’t recommend it for week day breakfast; save it for the weekends because it is a VERY sedative comfort food. Wikipedia also says that Corn Beef Hash commonly served on St. Patrick’s Day, is served during American Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday time.
So, if you are looking for a quick dish to put you in a relaxed and satiated mood, this is the one! It might even be a great dish to relax children who are hyped during the weekends and holiday time. Give them a bowl full and viola! You got peace and quiet!
Happy Holiday Eating,
Veganista
