I have recently had a clear-out of my food cupboard and found about half the items were out of date! I want to use up a can of corned beef, dated April 2017, and am looking for something different from the usual hash. I thought about cutting it into large fingers and doing a toad-in-the-hole, or even a pie, but any other suggestions would be welcome, healthier if possible.
Second only to hash is corned beef salad; cut into cubes and mixed with finely chopped sweet onions, mayonnaise and a dash of oil, vinegar and black pepper. Eat with a big chunk of crusty bread or toss into a big bowl of mixed salad leaves.
As we are on the subject of corned beef, I have noticed that tins bought in the last year or so contain beef that just disintegrates when trying to chop it.
Previously, I cut cut up the corned beef into proper chunks.
My corned beef pie. Sweat off some onions, Cube the corned beef. A tin of baked beans. A dash of Worcestershire sauce and salt/pepper. Use this as a filling with short crust pastry.
Reminded me of the corned beef fritters my Mum used to make too. Other than sandwiches or with other meats/cheeses/pickles (mix up as my son calls it lol) we like it simply with chips and a fried egg. Made into a pie similar to a pasty sounds nice.
Hello everyone. First post. Fry a chopped onion in a little oil until starting to go soft. Add shredded cabbage and a little water and saute until the cabbage is almost cooked. Add a chopped apple, some water and soy sauce and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 10 minutes then add a tin of chopped corned beef and cook for a few more minutes. Lovely with crusty bread or a baked potato.
No, nor me. Tinned food found in Scott of the Antarctic's food stockpile in recent years has been opened and found to be perfectly safe and edible to eat .
Some great ideas here, many thanks. The large can will give me the opportunity to try several. I notice that nobody thought I shouldn't be using out of date canned food. DD1 turned her nose up! It doesn't worry me in the least.
A favourite dish as a very small child in the late 1940 was a corned beef casserole made with corned beef, a tin of macedoine vegetables and an Oxo cube.
My father was stationed in India until 1948 and every month sent home a parcel of tinned food to every individual in the household. Tins of corned beef, macedoine vegetables, 'Vienna' sausages, butter, cream and Quality Street are among the contents of these parcels that I remember.
This made me when we used to take the children to caravan parks for our hols they would plead for corned beef with instant mash (yes I know) and beans for the night we arrived.
