All In One Roast Bubble Squeak Recipes

QUICK AND EASY TRADITIONAL BUBBLE AND SQUEAK DISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and make sure it doesn't brown. Add the finely chopped onion and fry gently for about 3 minutes or until soft and translucent.
• Turn the heat up ever so slightly and add the mashed potato and all of the chopped-up leftover vegetables. Add the chopped meat if using. Fry for at least 10 minutes, turning everything over continuously in the melted butter to ensure that the potato and vegetables are thoroughly reheated. You are also aiming to brown (but not burn) the outside edges of the vegetables, so occasionally press the mixture into the pan to brown a little before turning.
• Finally, when the mixture is heated right through, give the vegetables one long final press onto the base of the pan with a spatula and leave to cook for 1 minute. Flip over and repeat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve with either a fried or poached egg on top. Enjoy.

ALL-IN-ONE ROAST BUBBLE & SQUEAK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bring a pan of water to the boil, then tip in the potatoes. Cook for 4-5 mins, drain well, then return to the pan. Put on the lid and shake a couple times.
• Set a heavy-bottomed roasting tin on the hob over a medium heat and add the oil. When it's really hot, add the potatoes and fry for a few mins.
• Add the bacon and sprouts, mix everything together, then put in the oven and bake for 30 mins until the bacon is crisp and the sprouts are tender.

EASY BUBBLE AND SQUEAK

Steps:

• Heat half the fat in a non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat until translucent. Add the sprouts and cook until everything is starting to caramelise around the edges. Transfer to a bowl.
• Roughly mash the leftover root vegetables together, then add them to the onion and sprouts. Season well.
• Heat the remaining fat in the frying pan. Pile the mixture back in, pressing down. Cook until the base has a really good crust on it. Carefully go round the edges with a palette knife to make sure it will come away easily (it won't if the crust hasn't cooked for long enough), then flip onto a plate, before sliding it back, cooked side up, into the pan.
• Cook until another crust forms, then serve. (Alternatively, you can wait for a crust to form, break it all up and flatten down again, repeating a couple of times until the bubble and squeak is a mixture of mash and well browned, crisp nuggets of crust.)

BUBBLE & SQUEAK

Steps:

• Melt 1 tbsp duck fat, goose fat or butter in a non-stick pan, allow it to get nice and hot, then add 4 chopped streaky bacon rashers. As it begins to brown, add 1 finely sliced onion and 1 chopped garlic clove.
• Next, add 15-20 sliced cooked Brussels sprouts or shredded boiled cabbage and let it colour slightly. All this will take 5-6 mins.
• Add 400g cold mashed potato. Work everything together in the pan and push it down so that the mixture covers the base of the pan.
• Allow the mixture to catch slightly on the base of the pan before turning it over and doing the same again. It's the bits of potato that catch in the pan that define the term 'bubble and squeak', so be brave and let the mixture colour.
• Cut into wedges and serve.
