How to Cook your Crispy Brown Hash

For the Crispy brown hash, firstly grind the chopped chicken in a grinder.  In a mixing bowl add the onions to your ground chicken.   Add the onions, green peppers, parsley, celery and diced potatoes to complete your hash mixture.

Put some oil and a knob of butter in a frying pan on medium heat.  When the oil is hot, empty out your hash mixture from the mixing bowl into the frying pan, spreading it around the pan and flattening it on the top with a spatula, pressing on the mixture with the spatula.  

Cook for about 10 minutes to 15 so that it gets crispy on the bottom.  

Then crumble the chicken stock cube into half a cup of water and add this to the pan of hash.  Mix around then place the whole mix in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Cooking your Mushroom Gravy

Whilst your hash is cooking you can prepare your mushroom gravy.  Pan fry the mushrooms in butter.  Add flour and stir.  Crumble your beef stock cube in water and add this.  Cook until the mixture boils and the sauce is thickened. 

Serve your hash brown on a plate and pour on the mushroom gravy in the middle or on the side for a yummy and inexpensive meal
