Smoked Trout Hash with Mustard Greens

INGREDIENTS :

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound precooked diced red-skinned potatoes (see Note)
  • 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 ounces smoked trout, skin removed, flaked
  • 4 cups thinly sliced mustard greens

  • COOKING DIRECTIONS :

    1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, adjusting heat if necessary to prevent burning, 8 to 12 minutes.
    2. Whisk mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add to the potatoes along with trout and greens. Cook, stirring, until the greens are just wilted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir 1 to 2 tablespoons water into the hash if it seems dry. Serve hot.

    Yield: 4 servings


    MORE :

    We've combined assertive mustard greens, smoky trout and crisped potatoes in this interpretation of a hash. If you prefer a milder green, substitute mature spinach or chard. Make it a Meal: Lay a Poached Egg on top and serve with sliced tomatoes and cracked pepper.

    Notes:

    Ingredient Note

    Look for precooked diced potatoes in the refrigerated section of most supermarket produce departments--near other fresh, prepared vegetables.
