Irish at All?
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I made Nigella Lawson's hash recipe from the NYT yesterday, substituting diced leftover lamb mixed in for the fried egg on top. Figured it was at least as Irish as I am (which is not very much): lots of potatoes, and isn't lamb kind of Irish, too?
Anyway, it was pretty good. I sauteed half a sliced onion in some oil, then added three red potatoes cut into 1/2-inch pieces, salt and a dash of chipotle (she called for cayenne). Cooked that over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes, then added the lamb and cooked it for another 10 minutes. The potatoes kind of stick to the pan, making all these little browned bits as you stir them. Good food for a late dinner on a snowy night (I went to bed about an hour after).
