VEGAN BUBBLE SQUEAK CAKES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Peel and chop potatoes into bite sized pieces. Smaller red potatoes need only be quartered. Add potatoes and boil for 12-15 minutes or until tender.
• Meanwhile, chop the ends off the brussels sprouts and remove any bad looking leaves. When there is five minutes left of the potatoes, add the sprouts and cook for four minutes. After four minutes, remove them with a slotted spoon to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking.
• Drain the potatoes and return back to the hot (empty) pot you boiled them inches Turn the heat down to low and let the potatoes dry for 1-2 minutes.
• While the potatoes are drying out, drain the sprouts and pat them dry. Shred them finely with a chef's knife.
• Add the Earth Balance to the potatoes and mash well. Mix in the sprouts and 1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning (or salt) and taste for flavor, adding more seasoning if desired. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Mix the 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 tsp Old Bay (or salt). Heat a large, cast-iron skillet over medium heat with 1/4″ oil in the bottom.
• Break up the potato mixture into 8 rough patties.
• Gently form each one into a smooth, hockey puck like shape. Dip the cake in the seasoned flour mixture. Be gentle, and do this for each patty.
• Fry 3-4 patties at a time for 2-3 minutes a side, until golden brown. You may need to re-dip them in flour right before putting them in the oil, so keep it handy. Use two spatulas (or a spatula and a flat wooden spoon) to turn the cakes; you don't want to splash hot oil all over yourself.
• Place fried cakes on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Preheat oven to 375º F.
• Once all the cakes are fried, you can place the whole sheet of them in the oven for 15 minutes to re-heat and re-crisp them in time for your meal. You can also refrigerate them for up to three days (reheating in the same manner), or freeze them for a month.

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 & SQUEAK BOXING DAY BRUNCH

Steps:

• Roughly mash your cold paprika roasties with a fork, then add the leftover cabbage, cumin seeds, garlic and some seasoning, and mix together. Use your hands to shape the mixture into two patties.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the patties for 3-4 mins each side until crisp. Pour the lemon juice over the avocado. To serve, get two plates, put a patty on each and serve with the avocado, a sprinkling of chilli flakes and a good pinch of flaky sea salt.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK WITH VEGGIE BACON AND CELERIAC (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Peel your potato (aka spuds) and peel your quarter or celeriac and cut both into into 1 inch bits. Put in large pan of water with a sprinkle of salt and boil for twenty minutes until tender.
• Meanwhile shred your cabbage and boil in separate pan for around 5 minutes.
• Slice your onions and leeks finely and squish your garlic with a a garlic crusher.
• Slice your veggie bacon into strips or chunks and fry gently about a minute a side in the oil.
• Add the onions and leeks in a frying pan for a couple of minutes.
• Next add the garlic and the drained cabbage cook for five minutes.
• Drain the spuds and celeriac well and mash with the soy spread and spy milk season with a bit of salt.
• Add the frying pan mix and give a good mash about.
• Now you can either squish the mixture into an even "patty" in the frying pan and cook for about 5 minutes on a medium heat so it becomes like a cake with a crispy bottom and the grill the top or (if your using a wok because the handle has fallen off your frying pan) put into an oven proof dish and press into a patty. Put in oven on gas mark 8 for twenty minutes until a bit crisp on the top.
• If you're feeling super flash top with a think layer of vegan mozzarella and sprinkle of vegan parmesan.
• I used only a little insey weensey bit and served with veggie gravy.
• Yummy yummy in the tummy.
