Vegetarian Bubble and Squeak Recipe

Ingredients for Vegetarian Bubble and Squeak:

• 1 lb (450 g) potatoes
• 2 oz (56 g) butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 8 oz (225 g) cabbage
• 8 oz (225 g) carrots
• 1 onion
• 2 oz cheese (preferably a mature cheddar)

Method for Vegetarian Bubble and Squeak:

1. Peel, dice and cook the potatoes. Mash and mix with the milk, half of the butter and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Chop and cook the cabbage and mix into the mashed potatoes.
3. Soften the finely chopped onion in the other half of the butter.
4. Dice or slice the carrots, par-boil and drain.
5. Spread a layer of mashed potatoes in the bottom of a shallow greased dish. Arrange a layer of fried onions on top, then a layer of carrots. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of potato.
6. 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 50 minutes until the top is crusty and golden.

Serves 4.

Note: You really need the the cabbage, potatoes and onion but a different veg than carrots can be used – whatever you have at hand.
