In my attempt to become more healthy, i have been grateful to have a friend who is a nutritionist, who has used me as one of her “case studys”. Brave soul! Pretty sure i’m a nightmare case… hormone stuff, medication stuff…bahhh!! Bless her soul, she took me on without hesitation (or at least none that i could see!). Her goal? To help get my body happy once again! In the process, she has passed on a stack of recipes that incorporate good health… that doesn’t mean no fat or no carbs. It means eating foods that support my “systems” and organs.
One of the favourites she introduced me to is this hash from Sarah Wilson, that i made some minor tweaks to. It is easily served as a one dish dinner (which i’m ALL for) maybe adding some biscuits or fresh bread on the side for the kids. The hash is completely filling and satisfying. It really is delicious…and bonus…it makes perfect leftovers. The flavours just continue to meld together…
Scott likes to add feta…to everything. i skipped it on my portion, but it’s an option for those who feel cheese is non-negotiable at every meal.
Hope you enjoy this healthy, hearty dish at your table…
