Start you morning with this filling Breakfast Hash with pork, butternut squash, spinach and other veggies. Perfect as it is or with your favourite eggs.
Are you fed up of breakfasts, that have you feeling hungry again before lunch or ones that use up your healthy extra b choice, meaning you can't have than sandwich or whatever else you might fancy using it on later? Then this is the breakfast for you.
This breakfast hash has a good source of protein and is full of healthy speed foods that will keep you well satiated for much longer than that measly bowl of cereal or slice of toast with not much else.
I love breakfast hash, it’s a great dish to make ahead of time. Whenever I make it, I always make up a big pan, then tub it up and put it in the fridge. All that you have to do then, is heat up in the morning and eat as it is, or serve with some eggs – poached, scrambled or fried for an even extra bit of protein.
This is actually so good that you don't have to keep it just to breakfast, you can enjoy it any time of day. For lunch or dinner. It's really delicious.
I like to cook this hash up in a cast iron Skillet. I love my lodge cast iron pan like this one below:
Food just tastes so much better cooked in a cast iron pan, and has lots of benefits too, such as boosting your iron.
So make up a big pan of this breakfast hash, tub it up and you could have a handy quick breakfast to heat up for the next few days.

Diane says
Thank you
This is totally gorgeous and I’ve just finished my first bowl... already looking forward to tomorrow’s dish
Tracey says
Lovely recipe, family wasn’t too keen on the pork mince. So next time will use defrosted Linda McCartney sausages, and cook loads of extra veg on a Sunday and it won’t take much cooking/heating through on a Monday. Win win.
