the leek and finely chopped onion and cook for 5-6 minutes. Add half the
vegetables and the stock and cook for a further 4-5 minutes. Season and
stir in a dash of Tabasco and 2 tbsp mixed herbs. Serve.

3 Melt 15g/ 1/2 oz butter in a frying pan then add half the potato. Crumble
half the corned beef and scatter half over the top followed by the

onion slices.

4 Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and top with the remaining potato.
Season and put three thin slices of butter on the top. Cook for 3-4
minutes. Transfer to the oven to set for 1-2 minutes then turn over and
cook on the hob until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and
add a dash of Tabasco. Garnish with sprigs of parsley. Serve.

5 Cut the parsnips in half lengthways and then widthways. Heat 1 tbsp olive
oil and 1 tbsp butter and fry the parsnips with 3 sprigs rosemary and a
pinch of salt until golden. Keep warm.

6 Heat 25g/1oz butter in a frying pan. Slice the remaining corned beef and
fry for 2 minutes each side. Serve with the parsnips.
