Download Bubble and Squeak Mary Berry: A Delicious Recipe to Enjoy Leftover Vegetables

Bubble and squeak is a classic British dish that has been passed down through generations, and it's easy to see why. This recipe, made famous by none other than Mary Berry herself, is a delightful way to repurpose leftover roasted potatoes, cabbage or Brussels sprouts from Sunday lunch into a tasty and satisfying meal.

To start, you'll need large mugs of leftover roasted potatoes, roughly diced, along with large mugs of leftover cooked cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, and other cooked vegetables. If you don't have any leftover potatoes on hand, you can always cook some in boiling salted water until they're tender, then cool them before proceeding.

In a wide heavy skillet or frying pan, heat the butter over medium heat along with a splash of oil. Once hot, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they've softened to your liking. Then, it's time to add the remaining vegetables - potatoes, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts - along with some herbs, salt, and pepper.

Give everything a good stir to mix well, then press the mixture down into the frying pan to compact it slightly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing the ingredients to brown nicely. Repeat this process until you're happy with the level of browning.

Once your bubble and squeak is as crisply browned as you like, remove it from the heat and serve hot, spooned onto plates with or without gravy. This dish is perfect for using up leftover vegetables and making a delicious meal out of them.

As for the origins of this tasty recipe, there are a couple of theories. Some believe that the name 'bubble and squeak' came from the noise made by the vegetables as they fried in the pan, while others think it might have something to do with the effects that brassica vegetables like cabbage and Brussels sprouts can have on the human digestive system.

Regardless of its origins, bubble and squeak is a beloved recipe that's sure to become a family favorite. So next time you're looking for a tasty way to use up leftover vegetables, give Mary Berry's bubble and squeak a try - your taste buds will thank you!
