BUBBLE & SQUEAK CAKES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins or until tender, then drain and return to the pan over a low heat for 1-2 mins to dry out. Add the butter and mash well. Meanwhile, boil the sprouts for 3-5 mins until just tender. Drain and cool quickly under cold running water. Shake dry, then shred as finely as you can.
• Mix the sprouts with the potatoes and season to taste. Leave until cool enough to handle, then shape into 8 round cakes. Tip the flour onto a plate, then coat the cakes, tapping off the excess.
• Heat a 5mm depth of oil in a large frying pan and shallow-fry the cakes in 2 batches for 2 mins each side, turning carefully. Drain on kitchen paper and transfer to a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper. Cool, cover and chill or freeze. Will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 (or if you've roasted the ham, leave the oven on while it rests) and reheat the cakes for 15 mins until hot through and crisp on the outside.

BUBBLE 'N' SQUEAK

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, cook cabbage in a small amount of water for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and set aside.
• In a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, cook bacon and onion until onion is soft and bacon is cooked. Add ham, and cook until heated through. Add butter, then mix in the cooked cabbage and potatoes. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned on bottom, turn, and brown again.

BUBBLE-UP TACO BAKE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, brown hamburger and chopped onion.
• While the meat is cooking, combine 2 T of the taco seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder and basil in a 1 quart plastic storage bag.
• Shake to mix well.
• Cut the biscuits into quarters.
• Drop the biscuit quarters, a handful at a time, into the bag and shake to coat evenly.
• As the biscuit quarters are coated, layer them in the bottom of a greased 2 qt baking dish, and set aside.
• Drain grease from meat mixture, then return to skillet and add 2 T of the taco seasoning, any leftover seasoning mixture from coating the biscuits, and the water; cook for 3 minutes.
• Stir in salsa and black beans.
• Carefully spread the mixture over the biscuit pieces in the casserole dish. Bake 20 minutes; remove from oven and cover with the shredded cheese.
• Return to oven and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a bowl and wash under cold, running water until water runs clear. Place in a medium saucepan with salt. Add enough water to generously cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, until soft, about 15 minutes.
• Peel and mash the boiled potatoes, using a fork or food mill, and while potatoes are hot, add butter and cream and mix well. Meanwhile, fry bacon until crisp and drain on paper towels, leaving half the fat in the skillet and reserving remaining fat. Add onions to skillet and saute until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add celery, sage, and pepper, and saute 2 more minutes. Add Brussels sprouts and saute 5 more minutes. Add lemon juice, and then combine vegetables with mashed potatoes. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Shape potato mixture into 10 patties, and heat reserved fat in clean skillet. Add patties to skillet and cook until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Crumble bacon on top and serve immediately.

• Add cream and stir until sauce has slightly thickened.
• Add wine, salt and pepper, stirring until blended.
• Add scallops and pour into 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
