I have been sorely missing my favorite corn beef hash (sadly, from a can). I have found a substitute that I can live with. It uses radishes as the mock potatoes. Boiling the radishes leeches out the bitter taste.
This is NOT a quick recipe, but if you are a die-hard corn beef hash fan and have been missing it, it's well worth it. It requires boiling your radishes FIRST, letting them drain and cool before chopping for the hash. I did mine the night before and just refrigerated until I was ready to make the hash.
ADD SALT at your OWN RISK - I would recommend that you DO NOT ADD SALT to this recipe.
Ingredients:
Dice onions. Heat oil, saute onions. (I added salt and pepper. I would not recommend adding the salt. The corn beef is very salty from the can.)
After onions have sauteed about 5 minutes or so, add diced radishes and sautee another 5 minutes.
Add canned corn beef, tearing it up as you add it to the fry pan. Stir and cook for approx 7-10 minutes. Season to taste.
Enjoy!
NOTES: I was honestly afraid to try it because I missed my "real" hash so much, even though it smelled good. But, it is good!!
I will check salt contents on other brands of corn beef before purchasing again to make. I initially cooked too many radishes, so I had some left over. I cooked 2 bunches. One bunch is enough for one can of corn beef. I cook for only me.
I had a hard time finding a carb count for "cooked" radishes, but for raw, the carb count is a little over 4 and fiber is just under 2, making NET CARBS for the radishes about 2. Onions were a totally different story: I cooked my dish before I checked the carb count. NET CARBS for 1/2 cup diced onion is 6 carbs. The corn beef is zero carbs. So you can adjust this.
Again, ENJOY!!

ADD SALT at your OWN RISK - I would recommend that you DO NOT ADD SALT to this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 tbsp canola oil (or your favorite cooking oil)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped radishes (must be BOILED 1st for about 30 minutes, drained, and cooled - I think I used about 10 radishes)
- 1 can corn beef (my brand is Libby's and is 12 oz. AND it's salty)
Dice onions. Heat oil, saute onions. (I added salt and pepper. I would not recommend adding the salt. The corn beef is very salty from the can.)
After onions have sauteed about 5 minutes or so, add diced radishes and sautee another 5 minutes.

The only canned corned beef I can find here lists ridiculous amounts of salt (and nitrates), I'm afraid. Some even have sugar ... but this sounds like perfect comfort food. I might try this with small celeriac cubes, too... hmmmmmm.
