Bubble & Squeak Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450 g) potatoes
• 2 oz (56 g) butter or margarine
• 2 tablespoons full fat or semi-skimmed milk
• 8 oz (225 g) cabbage
• 8 oz (225 g) carrots (or another veg other than cabbage)
• 1 largish onion
• 2 oz cheese (preferably one with a strong taste)

Method:

1. Peel, dice and cook the potatoes. Mash and mix with the milk, half of the butter/margarine and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Chop and cook the cabbage and mix into the mashed potatoes.
3. Peel and chop the onion finely and saute in the other half of the butter/margarine.
4. Dice or slice the carrots (or another veg),  par-boil and drain.
5. Spread a layer of mashed potatoes/cabbage in the bottom of a shallow greased dish. Arrange a layer of fried onions on top, then a layer of carrots (or whatever veg you’re using).
6. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of potato.
7. Grate the cheese and sprinkle on top and bake in the middle of a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 5 (190°C/375°F) for about 40 minutes until the top is crusty and golden.
