Corned beef hash

Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6.

First prepare the potatoes for the filling. Boil the potatoes in a large pan of simmering, salted water. When they are just cooked, remove from the heat and cool in cold water. Drain, dice and leave to one side.

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a frying pan. Add in the onions and thyme and fry for 3 minutes.

Add in the marmite, stock and red wine and cook briskly until reduced by half.

Add the corned beef and parsley and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Cook for 5-10 minutes, breaking it up with a fork.

Season the diced potatoes and mash them thoroughly with milk and the butter.

Place the corned beef mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with the mashed potatoes.

Mix together the grated Cheddar and breadcrumbs.

. Sprinkle the mixture over the mashed potatoes and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
