How to Make LEFTOVER VEG HASH
1. Chop the vegetables together (with any leftover meat if required).
2. Mix the mayonnaise and egg together, then use to bind together the vegetables and chicken.
3. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fill with the veg mixture.
4. Fry over a moderate heat for 5 minutes.
5. Place the pan under a hot grill to cook the top until golden brown.
You can make these into individual patties if preferred and just cook on both sides in the pan (or grill on both sides).
