Healthy Pepper Hash Recipes

PEPPER HASH - AMERICAN PIKLIZ

Steps:

• Combine the vinegars. Add the sugar and salt to the vinegars, and stir until they've dissolved.
• Slice the cabbage as thinly as you can. I do it by hand and it is fairly tedious (this is the reason for the long prep-time in the recipe). Another option is to use the food processor, which results in a dish the consistency of KFC slaw; Be careful - it is really easy to end up with cabbage mush.
• Seed & slice the green pepper, also very thinly.
• If using the scotch bonnets or habaneros, seed & slice those super thinly. These are really spicy peppers (for those unfamiliar); handling them can burn your hands, and the burn can last a few days. I use disposable gloves when I cook with scotch bonnets or habaneros.
• Place the cabbage, green peppers, and all spices and seeds in a large container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the vinegar mixture over it. Shake.
• The pepper hash can be eaten immediately. The flavor meld well over time. It lasts in the fridge for several weeks.

Brown the strips on all sides hit it with some Worcestershire sauce then push it off to 1 side of the pan. Add another tablespoon vegetable oil to the pan then the chiles and onions. Season up the veggies with salt and pepper then toss them around, searing up the edges, for another 1 to 2 minutes before combining all the meat and veggies together. Add in thyme and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, keeping everything moving around like a stir fry. Turn off heat and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the steak and veggies. Taste for seasoning.
• Drain potatoes then return them to the hot pot to evaporate some of the water content. Add the reserved garlic and scallion mixture to the potatoes along with the sour cream and start smashing away with a masher. Add in 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup milk to get potatoes to desired consistency then mash in cheese. Season-up the mashed super skins with salt and pepper, to your taste. Pile up the mashed super skins on a platter, top with steak hash. Yum-o!
