Another dish reminiscent of the days when fresh meat was inaccessible to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Ingredients

  • olive oil, for cooking
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, diced
  • 340 g can corned beef
  • 1 Desiree potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 litre beef stock
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • soy sauce, to taste
  • ½ cup diced white cabbage
  • steamed white long grain rice, to serve
  • parsley leaves, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a good drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the onion and stir for 5 minutes or until lightly softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or until fragrant. 
  2. Add the corned beef and cook for a couple of minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon until the meat and onions are well combined.
  3. Add the diced potato, carrot, stock and enough water to almost cover the vegetables. Bring to the boil, season to taste with salt, pepper and soy sauce, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10–15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
