img 20200219 084007

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
