Hot Tips

Bubble and Squeak

Incorporate cold leftover vegetables from a previous meal (traditionally the Sunday roast) into bubble and squeak. Chop vegetables (and cold chopped meat if you have it) and combine with mashed potato. Fry the fritters until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides.

Glossary

Sweet Paprika

Sweet Paprika made from sweeter, milder varieties of capsicum. It has a good depth of flavour and also adds a vibrant colour.
