Filipino Corned Beef Hash over Rice

chef1aB's Note:

A dish that combines American canned corned beef and Spanish influenced "sofrito" (basic sauce) of garlic, onions, and tomatoes. This is a Filipino dish that is traditionally eaten any time of the day (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). It's very simple and comforting!

This dish brings me back to my childhood :) Like cali_love, I don't add the tomatoes; but everything else is pretty much the same! Love it!

I make this without the tomatoes, just because my mother never added that when we were kids. I also boil the cubed potatoes for a bit before adding it to the pan; I feel that they never cook up enough when I try to saute them first.

This simple dish is such a big part of my life. My brother and I always looked forward to this meal when I was little, and my own children now get cravings for "Lola's corned beef". It's a quick, inexpensive meal that defines the phrase "comfort food". Thanks so much for posting and bringing back some wonderful memories :)
