This delicious Bubble and Squeak Bowl is my take on the classic dish and is simple to whip up yet packed with flavour.
Bubble and squeak has long been used as the perfect easy lunch or dinner to use up leftovers and I thought, as I love a zero waste recipe, it made sense to write my version up. My bubble and squeak comes in a deconstructed bowl format and has become a bit of a Monday lunch staple when we have had savoy cabbage on our Sunday dinner the day prior.
Although I have written out the method to include steps to prepare potatoes specifically for this recipe, if you have any leftover mash or roast potatoes that need using up I would strongly encourage you to use those instead! If you don’t have any leftovers but fancy making this, why not try leaving the skin of the potatoes on instead of peeling them in order to continue the ‘zero waste’ theme of this meal.
As mentioned above, this is my favourite way to use up savoy cabbage and this recipe was created specifically with cabbage in mind. However, if you want to deviate from the ingredient list below and omit it then please do! This is a really versatile recipe and one that you can just throw together using anything you have in – swap the leek for another type of onion, the cabbage for half a broccoli, throw a handful of kale into it, etc!
I use a vegan bacon in this recipe and find it adds a lovely flavour, however, you could omit this or use the real thing if you wanted. When making this you could add in a protein source, such as chicken or meat free equivalent, in order to bulk it up or even top it with a fried or poached egg if you eat them. Although this is great when eating as a quick lunch, you could also use it as a side dish and enjoy it as part of a larger evening meal.
This recipe does not require a lot of seasoning and the nutritional yeast, parsley and chives are all optional, although strongly encouraged.
