Shallot and Sprout Bubble and Squeak Cakes
A great way to use up left over shallots and sprouts is to make bubble and squeak cakes. These can be served with any sauce, like the jar of cranberry jelly which sits at the back of the cupboard for the rest of the year, but go best with a spicy chilli sauce!
Serves 4
You’ll need:
500g cold mashed potato
150g peeled sprouts, shredded
150g shallots, peeled and diced
Sea salt and black pepper
75g butter
Nutmeg to taste
Olive oil for cooking
Flour for making patties
Method:
- Melt the butter in a frying pan with half a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shallots, and fry gently till golden brown but not crisp.
- Toss in the sprouts and stir fry with the shallots until just softened.
- Mix in a bowl with the mashed potato.
- Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Allow to cool.
- Divide the mixture into four patties using plain flour on your hands to help shape the mixture.
- Fry the patties in olive oil and a little butter until golden brown on both sides. This takes 5-6 minutes.
