Bubble and Squeak
A traditional country recipe, bubble and squeak brings back
childhood memories. It has justifiably found its place in English
cookery, being tasty and satisfying food at the lowest possible cost.
Large old potatoes, 350 g (12 oz) peeled
Unsalted butter, 40 g (1½ oz) softened
Milk, 150 ml (¼ pint)
Leftover cooked Brussels sprouts or spring-greens, 175 g (6 oz) chopped
Vegetable oil, 1 tbs
Salt, pepper and grated nutmeg
Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for 15-20 minutes until soft
and mushy. Drain. Mash the potatoes thoroughly with the butter and milk,
and fold in the prepared greens. Season liberally with salt and pepper
and grated nutmeg.
Grease a large, heavy-bottomed pan with the oil, heat it gently and then
pack the mixture into the pan. Cover with a lid and cook over a gentle
heat for 20-30 minutes until the underside is completely browned and
crisp.
Invert on to a serving-dish and it is ready to eat.
