This is simply an augmented version of my “B & S - side dish” recipe. However, the extras do produce a quite different taste, as well as greater substance. Once again, this recipe will take alternative ingredients if you’ve other leftover vegetables. #WastenotWantnot.

Steps

35-40 minutes including prep

1

1 1/2 tbsp rapeseed oil (cold-pressed recommended)
2

Bring 1 tbsp of oil to a medium-high heat in a largish frying pan and soften the onion, shallot, spring onions, garlic and chilli. Set aside for Step 4.
3

Fry the bacon pieces and add to the onions, etc.
4

Add the onions, bacon, etc. to the bowl containing the mashed potato, cabbage and butter and quickly mix well. Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp oil to the pan, bring back to a high heat and add the mash mix, patting it down to flatten across the pan.
5

Cook it for about 7-9 minutes, until a crust starts forming on the bottom. Flip it over and repeat this process.
6

Meanwhile, poach or fry the eggs. Serve the Bubble & Squeak piping hot with an egg topping each portion. A dollop of brown sauce or your other preferred condiment might also appeal!
