Bubble and Squeak – Traditional British Fried Leftovers!

I make this so often, that I thought it was about time I posted the recipe! This amusingly named dish is basically traditional British fried leftovers, and probably enjoyed more than the original vegetables were I think! In fact, I have been known to cook the vegetables in order to make the Bubble and Squeak! The name is thought to originate from the noise it makes whilst cooking in the frying pan – bubbling and squeaking, whatver the reason, this simple dish is delicious and a wonderful way to “fry up” your leftover spuds and greens! I like to season mine with lots of freshly ground black pepper. This is a traditional post-Christmas breakfast dish – but don’t wait until then to make this. Excellent if served as part of an English breakfast with bacon and eggs, or as a light supper dish.

Maïté’s Leftover Chicken Salad

We eat grilled chicken almost every Sunday, this is what I make from the leftovers. It makes a great sandwich! Cooking time does not include the boiling off the egg.

Gröstel (Groestel, Gröst’l or Groest’l)

The Austrian Farmhouse answer for leftovers, this dish is served in Huttes all over Austria and is a Family Favorite here! You can add any sausage you may have laying around as well.

Beef Rissoles (Croquetas)

This will be good for those “after the holidays leftovers”. Easy to make and very fast. From Cold Meat Cookery
