Bubble and squeak..?

[andyoxon]

Any good recipes, for leftover brussels, roasties/parsnips, and carrots?    Just add flour, mash, and fry?

Seem to be some extravagant versions out there...

Making it complicated and extravagant sort of misses the point, really.

So yes, just add in whatever you've got, mash up roughly and fry. I like to get it nicely compacted in the pan, and get the bottom verging on burnt. YMMV. I don't usually need flour, but it's going to depend on what's in your mixture.

Serve with cold cuts and HP sauce.

Thanks for this.  Tonight leftovers are going to bubble and squeak - also leftover, a pack of pigs in blankets... nom, nom, nom.

I mix the bits up in a food mixer. Occasionally add an egg to glue it together. Flour dusting.

I realised some years ago that I enjoy Christmas dinner leftovers (ie cold meat & B&S) more than I enjoy the actual Christmas dinner.

Ungrateful peasant, I am.

I doubt it.
Plain turkey breast is only to be endured very occasionally. It needs much tarting to make it attractive. Such tarting is achieved either by 'all the trimmings', which you may not relish, or by frying up as B&S.

We had a chicken.
I prefer chicken. A turkey is too big for two and most 'turkey roast' jobs are either plain or putrid.

'Trimmings' go better with poultry than with the pork joint I would have otherwise cooked.
I am the ultimate peasant...

NT and I went out and bought more sprouts on Boxing Day (as part of a secret mission to get some up to date electrical bits to make a couple of my Mum's lamps safer), so yesterday morning we had brunch of bubble and squeak, bacon and egg - with the sprouts and potatoes cooked specially! Not quite leftovers, but lovely.

We're home now, and wondering how long before Mum spots the new switches...

The B&S was pretty good - possibly a little 'wet' before frying (relatively too many sprouts and carrots prolly).

We had turkey crown this year, in ovenable bag (Waitrose).  The great thing is that one can retrieve the retained juice, and make gravy; the best poultry gravy I've made...
