Cook on a rolling boil for 5 minutes before throwing in two big handfuls of chopped kale and cook both together for another 4 minutes. Add a little salt and then bring the water to a boil. Peel about 4/5 small sweet potatoes and cut into smaller chunks and throw into a pan of cold water. And the whole thing is shoved in an oven as opposed to fried so you still get that cuttable texture without the nerve of oil frying for a good time.Īnd if your Bubble & Squeak wasn’t sopping in egg yolk, did you even have a Bubble & Squeak at all?
I used sweet potato instead of regular potato because I really wanted that soft, sweet squidgyness of it and the addition of kale gave the whole thing a bitter spike that I really wasn’t expecting to enjoy as much as I did. One evening I found myself really craving Bubble & Squeak and no quest for a smaller waist was going to stop me having it. Comfort food to me is usually something eaten with one piece of cutlery and is oozing some kind of carbohydrate bursting with butter. Bubble & Squeak is that recipe to me.Īs I am still in the wretched tidal wave of ‘making better choices’ (I’ve lost over a stone since Christmas so don’t cry too hard for me) I felt as though I wanted something that felt like comfort food but didn’t have half of the necessary and fabulous filth. Sometimes something is just good as it is and all it requires is a fart-noise dollop of Heinz ketchup. For instance, I hate being asked ‘is that all you had?’ and then am subject to a cruel Spanish inquisition of asking where the meat was or where was the potato or where were the vegetables or where was the sauce or where were the chips or where was the parade to celebrate it? I hate trying to make excuses for why my dinner only consisted of one thing. ‘And if your Bubble & Squeak wasn’t sopping in egg yolk, did you even have a Bubble & Squeak at all?’
