Bubble and Squeak

Haven't heard about the "Bubble and Squeak" before - but as we live now in former British imperium, we have to get familiar with Queen's favorites!

Usually, this dish is made from leftovers the next day after the party and used mash, cabbage, meat, sausages, bacon, onions, lard etc. BUT I didn't have them (party neither) so I had to go shopping in the New World. They have an unbelievably wide variety of  "Sauerkraut". Well known cabbage product from Germany and the surrounding region. I think every German person knows what is sauerkraut and most of them have it even in the fridge as a snack!

  

What you need for the Main (B&S):

Cast iron skillet

10 slices of bacon

4 large potatoes

2 large carrots

2 raw chorizo sausages (take meat out)

1 onion (chopped)

1 garlic clove (chopped)
100g sauerkraut

salt

freshly ground black pepper

1 tbs of butter

1/2 cup of milk

oil for frying

1 tsp of English mustard 

To make this dish juicier, I made also one side dish to it. 

You need for a side dish the following:

1/4 of beef heart 

1 onion (sliced)

1 garlic clove (chopped)

1 tomato (chopped)

1 slice of lemon

dry herbs for seasoning

salt

freshly ground black pepper

lard for frying

Cooking:
Peel potatoes and carrots and boil them in salty water until ready, then drain. Mash when still warm and add milk and butter. Season with salt, pepper, and mustard. Same time you can fry meat from chorizo sausages, chopped onion, and garlic - when ready add sauerkraur and mix in. Now you can mix them together. Cover cast iron skillet with thin slices of the bacon and put the mash in. Cook in middle of the oven at 200C at abt. 30 minutes. Take it out and let it cool down about one hour. After that, you can flip it on a wooden cutting board, cut and serve.

For side dish:

Slice and fry beef heart, add sliced onion and garlic, mix it all together. When ready add tomato, lemon, seasoning and simmer about 10 minutes until ready. Use as a side for B&S.

Bon Appetite
