Thread Name: BS: Recipes - what are we eating?
Subject: RE: BS: Recipes - what are we eating?
I made bubble and squeak tonight. Unbelievably, I've never made it in my life. I had some leftover cabbage and roast potatoes from last night, a sad-looking mixture. After trawling around for recipes, I settled on one that added some crispy bacon and a bit of fried onion. I fried the onion in butter and added the bacon bits (unsmoked streaky). Once everything was sizzling nicely and colouring up, I threw in the mashed-up spuds and cooked cabbage. After another ten minutes I squashed it all down to get the bottom browned. Found it impossible to turn it over in one piece so I grilled the top to get that brown as well. It was hellishly tasty, though next time (and there will be a next time) I'll be putting in a bit more black pepper. Other suggestions gratefully received!
