| Bubble & Squeak |
Christmas is the most expensive time of the year. The decorations, the presents, the endless booze, the trips to the pub - everything adds up. The festive cheer shared with family at Christmas is priceless, but unfortunately the food bill isn't. And most hosts will agree they will always overbuy, as it's better to have 'too much than too little.' So when you hit your post-christmas blues, pick yourself up by using up your leftovers and save your hosts a whole load of money! It's like Christmas dinner all over again - what's not to love?
Cooking Instructions:
- Peel, chop, boil and mash an extra potato (or more, depending on how many you're feeding) - you need a lot of mash!
- Chop up all your leftovers - turkey, gammon, roast potatoes, parsnips, mash, swede, and not forgetting the sprouts. Add small amounts of the bread & cranberry sauce.
- Start frying the meats in a pan until it starts to brown, then add everything else (excluding the mash) and fry for 5 minutes, then add the mash and smooth it out to cover the base of the pan.
- The bottom will slowly become crisp, at which point you can create a hole in the mixture and break an egg into it. This will cook in between the bubble & squeak.
- Scoop the mixture out, it'll look messy and taste amazing. Crispy on the bottom, soft in the middle. Runny yolk of the egg to go with it.
Next time you go to throw out your Christmas food, think again. This is something I did for my family for the first time this year, but it went down so well I think it'll be an annual money-saver!
