Simply English Bubble Squeak Food

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.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK

Steps:

• 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.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK - TRADITIONAL BRITISH FRIED LEFTOVERS!

Steps:

• Mix the cabbage or sprouts with the mashed or diced cooked potatoes and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
• Method if using mashed potatoes:.
• Heat the butter in a large frying pan, add the potato mixture and smooth it flat with a spatula.
• Fry over a medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes or until underside is brown, and the Bubble and Squeak sizzles, bubbles and squeaks! (Sorry, could not resist that!).
• Place a large plate over the pan and turn the pan and plate over so that the bubble and squeak is on the plate.
• Heat the remaining butter in the pan and carefully slide the bubble and squeak back in the pan.
• Cook again over a medium heat until the other side is golden brown.
• Cut into wedges and serve with eggs and bacon for breakfast, or bread and butter for a light snack or supper dish. This is also wonderful as an accompaniment to stews and casseroles.
• Method for diced boiled or roast potatoes:.
• If using diced boiled or roast potatoes, mix all the vegetables together as above, and just fry them in a frying pan together; there is no need to press them down into a cake - stir them regularly to achieve an all over colour; then serve them with a spoon, rather than cut into slices. They still taste the same!

BUBBLE & SQUEAK

Steps:

• If cooking fresh just boil some potatoes,green cabbage and onion together,drain, No need to mash ingredients at all.
• Melt some butter in a pan (I add black pepper here,salt is usually added when cooking the spuds) and brown in the butter,push it down in the pan until nicely brown on one side then turn it over or just stir it up until it's how you like it!
• But it has to be brown!
• If using leftover mashed potato with butter already added then no need to add more,just brown slowly to taste but don't burn it,you can even form into patties and freeze if you like to cook as and when, This is a British breakfast dish traditionally served with eggs,bacon,sausages,etc,but it's great with a thick slice of real home cured ham,a poached egg or two,and even pickles, Don't try it with any kind of instant mashed potato,it just does'nt work!
• For a quick hash the way we Brits make it just add some cubed corned beef (Sorry,we only get the stuff in the tin) and a generous dash of Worcestershire sauce,a little soy sauce or mushroom condiment will do but there is no substitute for the real Lea&Perrins Worcestershire sauce!
• If serving as a corned beef hash you need do nothing more than put a poached egg or two on top, (fried if you must) and serve with good strong coffee or lemon tea for a real pick me up and get up and go to work breakfast!
• Enjoy!
