Ingredients
- (Serves 4)
- 4 rocket potatoes (Caithness Farm)
- 1 packet of sorrel (Otago Organics)
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 white onion – finely sliced
- 4 cloves garlic – finely sliced
- 1 bacon hock (Leckies Butchery)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 4 eggs (Agreeable Nature Free Range Eggs)
- 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
- Water
Breakfast Hash with Bacon Hock and Poached Eggs
Method
- Remove the skin from the bacon hock and cover with water in a large saucepan
- Bring to a rolling boil and simmer for 1
- 5 hours
- Remove from the water and set aside to cool
- Once cooled pull the meat off the bone and cut into large, long chunks
- Cut the potatoes into approx
- 3cm cubes and boil for 15 minutes, or until starting to soften but not falling apart at the touch of a knife
- Drain and set aside
- In a large frypan melt the butter on a low – medium heat and add the onions, garlic, thyme and salt
- Cook out until the onions are transparent
- Turn up the heat to medium – high heat and add in the rocket potatoes and fry until browning
- Add in the bacon meat and cook until browned stirring frequently to avoid burning
- Remove from heat and add in whole sorrel leaves, stir to combine
- The residual heat from the hash will wilt the sorrel
- Boil a saucepan of water and add in the white vinegar
- Once boiling place in the eggs and lower the heat
- Remove eggs when cooked but the yolks are soft to touch
- Serve the hash with the egg placed on top and season with salt and pepper
- Enjoy
