Recipe Rescue: Veggie Hash, ‘Meaty’ Enough For The Mavericks!

One of the greatest things about hash is that you really can't go wrong with the ingredients. Hash is very similar to Ratatouille. Typically the latter is served meatless and the former is mixed with meat. But, both dishes can take on Tofu, Chicken,  Hamburger etc... While Ratatouille is tomato based, Hash is based on potato. Tomato-potato; okay that sounded a lot funnier in my head, and with that said let's get cooking.

The beauty of hash is that you can add to your base any vegetable that you like, as many or as little. The entire flavor profile you create is yours. This is just one of the ways that I enjoy this timeless dish. By the way, this can be a side dish or a main meal. If you're shooting for it being the main course, beef up the ingredients so there's plenty to go around and serve with bread.
