Best 10 Bubble Squeak Cakes With Red Onion Gravy Recipes

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK (POTATO CAKES)

Steps:

• If using raw carrots and cabbage - saute the raw carrots and cabbage in a pan for a few minutes until softened. You can also add peas and corn to this mix if you're using them. Set aside. If you are using leftover carrots and cabbage, this step is not required.
• Place the potatoes in a bowl. Add the spring onions, egg, salt, pepper, and butter, and mix to combine, while mashing the potatoes slightly. Make sure to leave some chunks of potatoes.
• Add the cooked vegetables to the potatoes and mix to combine. Taste and season to your taste.
• DIvide the potato mixture into 8 portions and flatten each portion to form an even patty. Set aside.
• Pour some oil to coat the bottom of a non-stick pan. Heat over medium high heat, and fry each Bubble and Squeak patty in the hot oil, until browned on both sides.
• The bubble and squeak patties are soft (esp if you use an egg), and will be delicate. Use a wide spatula to help flip them over without breaking them.
• Remove the browned bubble and squeak and place it on a wire rack in a warm oven to drain, and to keep it warm.
• Serve these with bacon, breakfast sausages or smoked salmon for breakfast or brunch (these potato cakes can be used as a substitute for English muffins).

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK WITH SAUSAGES AND ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes and mixed vegetables in a pan of boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes. When they're cooked right through, drain and put aside.
• Heat a glug of olive oil and half the butter in a large frying pan and add the chestnuts. When they start to sizzle, add the potatoes and vegetables. Mash the vegetables up in the pan, then pat the mixture into a thick pancake shape. Fry on a medium heat for about 1/2 an hour, checking it every 5 minutes. When the bottom turns golden, flip it over bit by bit and mash it back into itself. Pat it out flat again and continue cooking until really crisp all over.
• Preheat the oven and a roasting pan to 425 degrees F.
• Unravel the pork sausage links and squeeze the filling between them until all 6 sausages are joined together. Do the same to your venison or beef sausages. Pat them to flatten them a bit. Drizzle with olive oil and massage this into your 2 long sausages. Sprinkle over a pinch of pepper, the rosemary and some nutmeg. Put 1sausage on top of the other and roll them up like a licorice wheel! Poke 2 skewers through, in a cross shape, to hold the sausages together.
• Take the preheated roasting pan from the oven. Drizzle in some olive oil and add the onions. Season, add the remaining butter and stir. Place the sausage wheel on the onions and stick the bay leaves between the sausages. Drizzle with some more oil and roast in the preheated oven for around 40 minutes, or until golden and crisp. When your sausages and onions are done, your bubble and squeak should be ready too. If it still hasn't browned, put it under a hot broiler for 5 minutes.
• Remove the sausages to a plate and place the pan with the onions on the stove top. Whack the heat up to full and stir in the flour, balsamic vinegar and stock. Bring to the boil and leave to thicken to a nice gravy consistency, stirring every now and then, and season to taste. Remove the skewers and cut the sausages into wedges. Serve the bubble and squeak with a good portion of sausage, a spoonful of onion gravy and perhaps some lovely dressed watercress.

BUBBLE & SQUEAK CAKES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins or until tender, then drain and return to the pan over a low heat for 1-2 mins to dry out. Add the butter and mash well. Meanwhile, boil the sprouts for 3-5 mins until just tender. Drain and cool quickly under cold running water. Shake dry, then shred as finely as you can.
• Mix the sprouts with the potatoes and season to taste. Leave until cool enough to handle, then shape into 8 round cakes. Tip the flour onto a plate, then coat the cakes, tapping off the excess.
• Heat a 5mm depth of oil in a large frying pan and shallow-fry the cakes in 2 batches for 2 mins each side, turning carefully. Drain on kitchen paper and transfer to a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper. Cool, cover and chill or freeze. Will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 (or if you've roasted the ham, leave the oven on while it rests) and reheat the cakes for 15 mins until hot through and crisp on the outside.

BAKED BUBBLE & SQUEAK CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200c. and line a baking tray with paper or foil.
• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion for 5 minutes on medium heat, until softened and browned.
• Tip the onion into a food processor with the leftover potato and vegetables. Mix for a few seconds. The mixture should be chunky but should hold together when you shape them into patties.
• Roll them into balls, then flatten them slightly before placing them on the baking tray. Brush with the remaining oil.
• Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
• Serve on their own, with a bit of ketchup or with some vegan sausages for a hearty breakfast.

BUBBLE 'N' SQUEAK

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, cook cabbage in a small amount of water for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and set aside.
• In a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, cook bacon and onion until onion is soft and bacon is cooked. Add ham, and cook until heated through. Add butter, then mix in the cooked cabbage and potatoes. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned on bottom, turn, and brown again.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan, add the onion and fry for a few minutes until softened, stirring frequently.
• Add the potatoes and cabbage.
• If you are including the beef, add this as well.
• Fry over a medium heat for about 15 minutes until brown then serve.
• Omit the beef and lamb and bacon fat for Vegetarian.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK CAKES

Steps:

• Finely chop the bacon; thoroughly wash and dry, then trim and finely slice the leeks; beat the egg; cut the mushrooms into quarters; cut the tomatoes in half; and finely shred the cabbage.
• Place the serving plates in a low oven so that they will be warmed when required.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil (less if the bacon is fatty; see notes below) in a heavy-based, non-stick pan, add the bacon pieces, fry for about 4 minutes, until crisp, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper kitchen towelling.
• (Optional departure: If you want to add finely chopped onion and/or garlic, add them 1-2 minutes BEFORE adding the leeks to the pan.).
• Add the leeks to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes.
• Transfer the bacon and leeks (and onions & garlic) to a large bowl, add the mashed potatoes, cabbage and egg (see notes below), season to taste and mixing together with wet hands, shape into 4 round cakes, 10cm/4" across. (If you've been imprecise or overly generous in the quantity of some of the ingredients, you may well have enough for five or six cakes. You may also choose to make smaller cakes, but remember to then adjust the cooking time: they'll cook much faster, of course.).
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan, add the bubble and squeak cakes and cook for about 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the cakes from the pan and keep warm.
• Add the mushrooms and tomatoes to the pan and sauté for 4 minutes. (I add basil here, probably about 1 tablespoon of fresh basil)
• Place the bubble and squeak cakes on warm serving plates, top with the mushroom and tomatoes and serve immediately.
• Chef's notes: I always buy middle rashers and remove ALL the fat, so I do need a little oil, probably about 1/2 tablespoon. If you use streaky bacon, I can't see that you'd need much oil at all, if any, certainly not the full tablespoon specified in the recipe. Because I've usually been imprecise in my measurements of one or other or several of the vegetables, I usually add 2 eggs. If tomatoes are just not looking very good or you cannot find a flavoursome variety (isn't the tasteless tomato the bane of all our lives?) canned, drained tomatoes are fine.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK

Steps:

• Mix together potatoes, cabbage, onion, garlic, chives, ham, and bacon.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Heat bacon drippings in skillet; add potato mixture and form a patty.
• Brown over medium heat on one side.
• Invert onto plate and serve.

VEGAN BUBBLE SQUEAK CAKES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Peel and chop potatoes into bite sized pieces. Smaller red potatoes need only be quartered. Add potatoes and boil for 12-15 minutes or until tender.
• Meanwhile, chop the ends off the brussels sprouts and remove any bad looking leaves. When there is five minutes left of the potatoes, add the sprouts and cook for four minutes. After four minutes, remove them with a slotted spoon to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking.
• Drain the potatoes and return back to the hot (empty) pot you boiled them inches Turn the heat down to low and let the potatoes dry for 1-2 minutes.
• While the potatoes are drying out, drain the sprouts and pat them dry. Shred them finely with a chef's knife.
• Add the Earth Balance to the potatoes and mash well. Mix in the sprouts and 1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning (or salt) and taste for flavor, adding more seasoning if desired. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Mix the 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 tsp Old Bay (or salt). Heat a large, cast-iron skillet over medium heat with 1/4″ oil in the bottom.
• Break up the potato mixture into 8 rough patties.
• Gently form each one into a smooth, hockey puck like shape. Dip the cake in the seasoned flour mixture. Be gentle, and do this for each patty.
• Fry 3-4 patties at a time for 2-3 minutes a side, until golden brown. You may need to re-dip them in flour right before putting them in the oil, so keep it handy. Use two spatulas (or a spatula and a flat wooden spoon) to turn the cakes; you don't want to splash hot oil all over yourself.
• Place fried cakes on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Preheat oven to 375º F.
• Once all the cakes are fried, you can place the whole sheet of them in the oven for 15 minutes to re-heat and re-crisp them in time for your meal. You can also refrigerate them for up to three days (reheating in the same manner), or freeze them for a month.

BUBBLE & SQUEAK CAKES WITH RED ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• For the bubble and squeak boil the carrot, parsnip, potato, celeriac, cabbage and kale in a pan of salted boiling water - and cook until they are very soft.
• Mash and smash your veg up so they are roughly combined - it's fine to leave chunks in it.
• Soften the leeks in a little butter and then mix these into the mashed veg. Season the mixture well with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Divide the mash into 4 patties, like a hamburger. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you make the gravy.
• For the gravy, heat a tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until they are soft and slightly caramelised.
• Add flour to the onion and cook for a minute or two. This will thicken the gravy once the liquid has been added.
• Add the red wine and a couple of sprigs of thyme and on a high heat to reduce slightly. Bring to the boil and then simmer.
• Add the vegetable stock and a tsp of balsamic vinegar and leave the gravy to cook on a low heat.
• Remove the bubble and squeak from the fridge. Melt some butter in a frying pan and fry the cakes gently in the butter until browned and crisp on both sides.
• While they are frying, check the gravy, and season.
• Melt a little more butter in another frying pan and fry your eggs (1 per person) season with salt and pepper.
• Serve two bubble and squeak patties per person with the egg on top and the gravy drizzled around the side.
