Although this dish was more delicious than I had expected, I did have some problems cooking it. This traditional recipe really does not have set amounts, other than there should not be more cabbage/sprouts than potatoes-which can be left-over mashed as well as whole. Back to the Bubble and Squeek: I did use a 2:1 potatoe:cabbage ration, but I eye-balled the amount to the cast iron skillet I was going to use.
Wow! The cabbage was delicious after cooked in the beef broth and I shall be preparing cabbage this way again. Assuming Bubble and Squeek tastes slightly different if left over potatoes and cabbage (or sprouts) are used, I decided to cook the cabbage in beef bouillion, the concentrated kind in a jar. It was a huge hit and I have a LOT of that cabbage left. Before I proceed, I shall definitely be preparing this again this week. My neighbors had just given me a cabbage from their garden so I used cabbage this time. Geez, talk about comfort food! Although the Two Fat Ladies used sprouts for the episode in which they made Bubble and Squeek, this dish from the British Isles is most commonly made with left over cabbage and potatoes.
