Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

- Add the chopped corned beef to the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the corned beef is heated through and crisped on the edges.
- Season the hash with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure even seasoning.
- Serve the hash hot, garnished with a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating diced bell peppers or a splash of Worcestershire sauce while cooking.
- If you're looking for a vegetarian version, substitute the corned beef with tempeh or mushrooms, which will provide a hearty texture.
