I was making Tomato Pepper Salsa yesterday and wanted something quickish for lunch, so I sautéed some chopped green onions and garlic for a few minutes, added a bag of frozen hashbrowns, threw in leftover sausage cut into coins and the steamed carrots they'd been stored in the fridge with, seasoned the lot and steamed slowly, covered, at the lowest heat for an hour or so, till the hashbrowns were cooked through.
Alone, this dish was bland. But with a big scoop of the salsa still warm from the pot ... ooh la la!
