Celebrity Big Brother Hash

I created a meal tonight after being inspired by Celebrity Big Brother, in particular, by Michael Barrymore's cooking.

6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 green pepper (capsicum), diced
extra virgin olive oil
1 package Quorn pieces
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a skillet, cook the potatoes, onion and pepper in the olive oil until cooked through. Then add the Quorn pieces and cook until they are cooked through and the potatoes are light brown. Remove from heat and top with the cheese. Serve when the cheese has melted.

Why was this inspired by Celebrity Big Brother? I saw Michael cooking some potatoes and onions in olive oil and it looked delicious. Adding the Quorn was inspired by the row over the vegetarians getting to order more while the non-vegetarians ordered a chicken. The green pepper was inspired by Dennis saying he was in there to add "colour" (as in interest) to the show. The cheese was inspired by Traci's eternal cheesy grin and attitude.

I need to get a life. Or at least a decent cookbook. Still, the family loved it. I think the dog did, too, because I cooked too much.
