Serve this filling vegetarian salad with a loaf of crusty bread.
Smoked pork hocks (ham hocks) give this hash a wonderful rich flavour. However, if time is of the essence, try the smoked turkey variation. Since pork hocks vary so much in size, you may need more than one.
Make lunchtime fun with bite-size pitas. Figure on two to three pita pockets per child aged six to nine. For older children and teens, use regular-size pitas and add lettuce, tomatoes and sprouts.
Having breakfast cooking while you take your time getting up is always welcome during the weekend. Prep this strata the night before and drop it into the slow cooker for a no-effort brunch. Serve with a green salad.
