download leftover roast dinner bubble and squeak

We don’t know about you, but much as we love a Christmas lunch, it’s the leftovers that get us really excited.

Remove from the oil onto a plate covered in kitchen paper.If you’re about to embark on a week of turkey curry and risotto, stop. Fry 3 or 4 at a time turning with a fish slice after a few minutes and then bottom is golden. Once the oil is hot take 2 tablespoons and carefully pick up small batches of cabbage mixture and place into the oil.Meanwhile place the cabbage into the batter mixture and stir well until well combined.Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over a high heat.Whisk until smooth and allow to stand for about 10 minutes. Crack an egg into the dry ingredients and whisk together. Gently mix together the flour, baking powder,cayenne pepper, sea salt, black pepper and sugar in a large bowl.Allow to dry a little in the sieve whilst you prepare the batter. Blanche the cabbage in a saucepan of boiling water for 4 minutes, drain and then running under some cool water.Add a squeeze of lemon over the top to really bring out the flavours. The result is a crunchy, peppery snack or side dish. Finally you mix it all together and fry in some very hot oil. Then the light batter is whisked up and allowed to stand. The cabbage is already cooked, or at least blanched to soften.

It’s a vegetable isn’t it?! This recipe is almost a bubble and squeak, but not. Of course, everything tastes better when it’s battered and fried, but in my mind these are still healthy. Now these delightful treats will be a side dish of choice for many a future meal. Initially I whipped up cabbage fritters to use up some leftover cabbage from our Sunday roast dinner. And they have gone down really well with all the family.

Who AM I? But seriously, these cabbage fritters are so darn tasty that I have already made them twice in one week. I never thought I’d see the day when I actually craved cabbage.
