Chop onion
To prepare the onion for the corned beef hash recipe, you will need to chop it. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to chop an onion:
- Start by cutting off the top of the onion, where the green stem is, and the bottom, where the root is.
- Make a vertical cut down the middle of the onion, ensuring to stop about an inch from the root end.
- Peel off the skin of the onion, starting from the top, and remove any dry or damaged layers.
- With the now vertically halved onion, place one half, cut side down, on the cutting board.
- Make horizontal cuts across the width of the onion, ensuring not to cut all the way through the root end.
- Finally, make vertical cuts down the length of the onion, perpendicular to the previous cuts, until you reach the root end.
- Repeat the process with the other half of the onion.
Once you have finished chopping the onion, you can proceed with the rest of the corned beef hash recipe.
Open can of corned beef
To make corned beef hash in a Crockpot Express Multi Cooker, start by opening a can of corned beef. You can find canned corned beef at most grocery stores. Carefully remove the lid of the can using a can opener.
Once the can is open, use a fork or a spoon to gently scoop out the contents of the can. The corned beef may be packed tightly, so be careful not to spill any of the liquid. Place the corned beef into a bowl or onto a cutting board.
Next, use a fork or your hands to break up the corned beef into small, bite-sized pieces. You can leave some larger chunks if you prefer a chunkier texture. Set the shredded corned beef aside.
If there is any excess liquid or fat in the can, you can drain it off before adding the corned beef to the recipe. A little bit of the liquid can help add flavor, so you may choose to leave some in.
Now that you have opened the can of corned beef and prepared it for cooking, you can proceed with the rest of the corned beef hash recipe. Whether you are using the Crockpot Express Multi Cooker or another cooking method, you are ready to enjoy a delicious homemade corned beef hash.
