drained.
1 kg cooked corned beef, cubed.
2 onion chopped
25 g butter
1/2 cup cream
Thyme
Salt and pepper
Method
Heat a large skillet, or frying pan.
Add butter and onions, cooked potatoes, and corned beef.
Cook covered, over a med-low heat, turning with a firm spatular or
fish slice frequently. Make sure you turn it carefully
getting alll the browing material off the bottom of the pan. It
browns slowly at first and more quickly over time.
It needs to cook like this for 30 min.
Then add the thyme, and the cream, and season with salt and
pepper.
Cover and resume cooking and scraping and turning every few minutes
for a further 30 min.
Serve.

after the cream and thyme is added and combined with the potato,
corned beef and onion.)
Hollandaise Sauce
Ingredients
250 g butter, melted and hot
3 egg yolks
Juice of 1/2 a lemon (or lime)
Method
Put the yolks and juice into the food processor bowl and set it
running.
Let run for 20 seconds before starting to add the butter.
Tip the butter onto the yolks and juice with the motor still
running.
It is very important to add the butter very slowly at
first.
Adding it slightly faster as the emulsion begins to form around the
whirring blades, and faster still as the volume grows.
Turn the processor off immediately that you have added all the
butter.
