Bubble and Squeak (Squeak)

This is a “fly by the seat of your pants”/”live dangerously” recipe! Normally I wouldn't give a recipe, it depends on what you've got leftover, how many mouths you are feeding and how big are their appetites!

Squeak

Serves 2

250g (ish) cooked potatoes, sliced or cubed

125g cooked sprouts, finely sliced

1 medium onion, finely diced

Salt and black pepper

20g unsalted butter & glug of rapeseed oil

125g of diced chorizo

1 egg per person

Glug of malt vinegar

Water for poaching eggs

You'll need one large frying pan for the Squeak

- preferably one that can be transferred to the oven

One small frying pan for the chorizo

One small saucepan, with water and a glug of

malt vinegar

Melt the oil and butter in a large frying pan, add the diced onion and sauté on a medium heat for 2/3 minutes. Add the potato and mix together, sauté for a further 2/3 minutes fold in the sprouts and cook for a further 2/3 minutes. Transfer the Squeak to a pre-heated oven 180fan/200c/Gas 6.

Heat the small frying pan then add the chorizo and fry on a medium heat.

Bring the water to the boil, add the vinegar and turn down to simmer, ready for the poached eggs.

As soon as the chorizo begins to crisp immerse the eggs bring to the boil and set your timer for three minutes – long enough to heat your serving bowls!

You can serve this dish as large or as small as you like – Jackson Pollock style or posh – photos up next …
