    Hash and eggs

    This is a delicious way to use up leftovers from a Sunday roast. What makes the dish Nordic is the essential addition of pickled, sliced beetroot and fried eggs, giving it a satisfying sharpness as well as an instant sauce from the runny yolk.

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    25g unsalted butter

    2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for the eggs

    500g boiled whole potatoes (firm, not soft), skin removed, cut into 1cm pieces

    1 large onion, roughly chopped

    75g bacon lardons

    300g cooked meat (such as roast pork or beef), cut into 1 cm pieces

    50g kale, finely sliced, tough stalks discarded

    ½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped

    4 eggs

    Worcestershire sauce, to serve

    pickled beetroot, sliced, to serve

    pickled cucumber, sliced, to serve

    Method

    1 .Preheat the oven to 140˚C, gas mark 1. Heat the butter and 1 tbsp oil in a deep frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning carefully, until golden and crisp; set aside. Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan and cook the onion and bacon for about 5-7 minutes, until golden, then add the cooked meat to heat through. Stir in the kale and once slightly wilted, carefully fold in the potatoes again – you want them to keep their shape and not turn to mush. Season; add the chopped parsley, then transfer to the oven to keep warm while you cook the eggs.

    2. Fry the eggs in a pan in a little more oil. Serve each portion topped with a fried egg and splash of Worcestershire sauce, with some sliced pickled beetroot and cucumber alongside.
