Scotch Hash
Southern Recipe Restoration Project
The contributors: Tom and Sheri Lynch, who live in Morningside.
The story: For about a decade, readers Tom and Sheri Lynch have been pursuing their mutual interest in genealogy.
"The trouble with most genealogy research is that the only information you find is names, dates and locations, " Sheri Lynch says.
Far more revealing, they say, is their copy of a cookbook they discovered online that was published in 1867 by Tom Lynch's great-great grandmother.
The Lynches sent us several recipes hoping that our Saving Southern Food panel might translate them for the modern kitchen. Chef and cookbook author Virginia Willis took a crack at Scotch Hash, with winning results.
She comments that this is an excellent and easy use of leftover corned beef. Served with pancakes or grits and fried eggs, it makes a hearty breakfast.
