Sausage-Kale Hash & Corn Fritters

Directions

1. To make hash, melt half the seasoned butter in large skillet over medium heat. Stir in baguette pieces and cook, turning often, 5 to 6 min., until golden. Remove from skillet. Set aside.

2. Add remaining seasoned butter to skillet; stir in onion and cook until golden. Add sausage meat and ground beef. Cook 5 to 7 min. until meat is browned; breaking up into small pieces with back of wooden spoon. Stir in kale and cook until wilted, about 2 min. Mix in reserved baguette pieces, ½ tsp (2 mL) salt and ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper. Cook another 2 to 3 min., until warmed through.

3. To make corn fritters, in large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder and remaining ¼ tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. In separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk and melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Fold in corn kernels and green onions.

4. Heat large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add fritter batter to skillet in ¼ cup (60 mL) portions. Cook 3 min. per side, until golden brown. Serve with warm hash.
