Who-ville Hash
My version of Who Hash is your chance to get creative and channel your inner Grinch—but instead of stealing Christmas, you’re saving dinner! Inspired by the classic Grinch movie, this dish takes whatever’s lurking in your fridge and transforms it into a hearty, satisfying masterpiece. Don’t be afraid to play with flavors—smoked paprika, cumin, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast can really take things up a notch. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about making something delicious with what you’ve got. And who knows? Your Who Hash might just become a tradition that’s worth writing down.
Ingredients
Setup
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color you have on hand)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cooked potatoes or sweet potatoes, diced
- 2 cups cooked legumes (lentils, chickpeas, or black beans)
- 2 cups diced vegetables (carrots, parsnips, turnips, celery, or any leftovers)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable broth or water (for sautéing)
- 2 cups chopped leafy greens (spinach, kale, or cabbage) – optional
Directions
If you’re starting with raw potatoes or root vegetables, steam or boil them until they’re just tender. Drain and set them aside. For any cooked veggies or leftovers, dice them into small, bite-sized pieces.
Heat up a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of vegetable broth or water to keep things moving without sticking. Toss in the onion and bell pepper, letting them sauté until softened and fragrant—about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute or two.
Add your cooked potatoes, legumes, and diced vegetables to the skillet. Sprinkle in the thyme or rosemary, along with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning that speaks to you—smoked paprika, cumin, or even a little nutritional yeast for a cheesy vibe would be fantastic. Spread everything out in the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for a few minutes to get some of those crispy golden bits going. Stir it up, repeat a couple of times, and let those flavors meld beautifully.
If you’re adding greens, toss them in during the last few minutes of cooking so they can wilt down and add a fresh pop of color and nutrients. Serve your hash warm, straight from the skillet, and if you’re feeling fancy, top it with a tofu scramble. Don’t have a recipe for tofu scramble?
