I love this dish! After asking around I realised most people don't realise it is an actual meal and not a snack. So here's how to make a cheap meal of it!
Ingredients:
1 Tin Corned meat
1 Onion
1 Tomato
1 Beef stock cube
1 Teaspoon Maizena (Cornmeal) any non flavoured thickening agent will work.
6 x Large Potatoes
1 Teaspoon of Margarine/Butter
50ml Milk
Water at room temperature
Method:
Corned meat:
Finely chop and brown onion and tomato in a small pot, use a no stick cooking spray to stop it sticking. Add corned meat and mash with a fork until minced. Add 1/2 cup boiling water to stock cube and add to pot, Stir occasionally whilst cooking for 5 minutes until boiling. Add 10ml cold water to cornmeal and mix to form a paste. Stir into mixture to thicken (you can thicken to desired taste)
Mashed Potato:
Boil potatoes until knife slides through easily, normally about 20 minutes.(chop them smaller to lower cooking time and electricity usage) Drain and return to pot. Mash with potato masher until completely crushed. Add margarine and milk and mash further until fluffy.[To increase fluffyness of mashed poatoes add a teaspoon of baking powder before mashing] Serve corned meat over mash. A great side vegetable makes it a full meal. I love gem squash and peas or Pumpkin and Spinach.
Delicious!
Handy tip:To speed up time or make it a quick fix, use "Smash"/ dehydrated potato instead of mashed potatoes, "Smash" also works as a thickening agent!
