VEGAN PYTTIPANNA (NORDIC HASH BROWN)
With the festive season finally behind us, it is time to get back to our normal routines… and to be honest, I couldn’t be happier! I mean, holidays are nice and all but this time it didn’t make me feel that good. At least not physically as I managed to caught a syndrome called over-eating and over-drinking..
Therefore, I decided to start the year with the best hangover cure I know. Let me introduce our vegan version of ‘Pytt i panna’, a Nordic dish similar to hash. The idea is simple, take your left-over food and fry it all up on a pan. A true one-pot wonder.
In this recipe we used potatoes, carrots, red bell pepper and red onion, all chopped into small cubes. The traditional Pyttipanna often includes left-over meat, but as we don’t have meat in our kitchen we replaced it with some BBQ marinated tofu to make a vegan pyttipanna.
It’s not fine dining BUT it is delicious. The only dilemma we had was figuring out how to photograph this delicacy without it looking like someone threw up on a plate (sorry for the mental picture here :)). It’s not the most beautiful dish in the world but luckily, we had some fresh parsley to come to saviour.
This dish is simple but requires cutting the vegetables which, depending on your knife technique, might take more or less time. In any case, I would say it comes together in a maximum of 30 minutes. This dish makes a perfect all day food. You can have it for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. And why not pack it for lunch too?
The perfect vegan hash brown. Enjoy 🙂
