Bubble and Squeak - Fry-up
Cowbridge Kitchen
This is an old school classic, one of my Dads favourites. Bubble & Squeak or Fry up is made from Cabbage and Mash, mixed together and fried in a pan, of course you can throw any leftover vegetables such as Swede into this.
Back in the 80's Bubble and Squeak was a way for folks to make food go further and it became a family favourite. Fry-up can be served on its own or often these days with fried eggs.

How to make Bubble and Squeak
Bubble and Squeak is also called a British Fry Up, this is because it is a classic British recipe for using up left over food from a Sunday roast, namely Cabbage and Potatoes.
The dish gets it's name 'Bubble and Squeak' from the fact that when it is cooking the fry up spits and bubbles and makes a high pitched sound that sounds like it's squeaking.
In this recipe I have added ham or bacon to the dish, but this was not traditionally done.
Cuisine:British
ingredients
300 g Cabbage
100 g Smoked Bacon (Diced)
50 g Butter
2 teaspoons of English Mustard
Salt & Pepper for seasoning
Cooking Instructions
- Melt the butter in a frying pan.
- Add the diced smoked bacon to the pan and fry for a few minutes, until the bacon is cooked.
- In a separate bowl mix 2 teaspoons of English mustard into the Mash.
- Add the Cabbage to the Mustard Mash.
- Season the bacon with Salt & Pepper.
- Add the Mash & Cabbage to the pan and flatten out to fill the pan.
- Cook on one side until almost burned.
- Slide the Bubble & Squeak onto a plate, then put the pan over the top so that you can turn it over.
- Cook the other side for the same amount of time.
- When the Bubble and Squeak is piping hot and fully cooked it is ready to serve.
This is a good old recipe, called Fry-up back in the 80's, and this was one of my Dads favourites.
