Bubble and Squeak with Ham and Avocado

Labels: { , , , }

"Bubble and squeak" is a traditional English dish made with potatoes and some leftover vegetables from a previous meal, usually cabbage, but carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can be added. It is so called from its bubbling up and squeaking while it cooks.
Recipe adapted from Delicious Magazine

  • 350 g Cooked medium potatoes
  • 350 g Cooked Brussels sprouts
  • 120 g Chopped cooked ham
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • Knob of butter
  • 50 g Rocket salad
  • 2 Avocados, sliced
  • Olive oil and lemon juice, to serve
  1. Put the cooked potatoes on a chopping board and break them up. Add the other cooked vegetables and chop it all up. Put into a bowl and add the ham, eggs and seasoning, and mix well. Roughly form the mixture into 4 large rounds.
  2. Heat butter in a frying pan and pan-fry the cakes for about 8-10 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy.
  3. Divide rocket salad between 4 plates. Top each with a bubble and squeak and half an avocado. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze over some lemon juice to serve.

I thought of having either bubble and squeak or bangers and mash for dinner tomorrow. Will have to see what I can 'catch' at the butcher... :D

This looks amazing. It's so funny because I was just watching Jamie at Home last night and he was making exactly this -- bubble and squeak, and I thought it looked so delicious and intriguing. I've got to make this some time. :-p

this is by far the best looking bubble and squeak I have ever seen - I would have a hard time not putting a poached egg on top of all this deliciousness - but then again thats just me.

I had never heard of Bubble and Squeak until now, this is a fantastic way to reinvent your leftovers! Usually they can be so drab but I don't think you'd ever know and I love the freshness of the avocado. DO you just use whole cooked potatoes, because we usually have mashed around here. I think the texture might make it a bit different.

I always wondered what Bubble and Squeak was. I never looked it up - but knew it had to do with potatoes and cabbage...
Delicious fried into cakes - with or without avocado.... but, everything is better with avocado!

I haven't had bubble and squeak in years, probably because they are never as sophisticated as your version. Love the fan of avocado on top :)

I was watching Jamie Oliver making Bubble and Squeak just the other day. Yours looks a delight! I simply have to try it. I like the idea of brussel sprouts rather than cabbage.
Really a great presentation!
