FOR THE BUBBLE AND SQUEAK
1 carrot, peeled and chopped into medium sized pieces
1 parsnip, peeled and chopped into medium sized pieces
1 potato, chopped into medium sized pieces
1/4 celeriac, chopped into medium sized pieces
2 handfuls chopped savoy cabbage
handful chopped kale
1/4 leek, chopped into rounds
knob butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE GRAVY
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
1 red onion, sliced
175 ml red wine
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 liter vegetable stock
1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar
2 large free-range eggs or 2 large organic eggs

1
For the bubble and squeak boil the carrot, parsnip, potato, celeriac, cabbage and kale in a pan of salted boiling water - and cook until they are very soft.
2
Mash and smash your veg up so they are roughly combined - it's fine to leave chunks in it.
3
Soften the leeks in a little butter and then mix these into the mashed veg. Season the mixture well with salt and freshly ground pepper.
4
Divide the mash into 4 patties, like a hamburger. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you make the gravy.
5
For the gravy, heat a tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until they are soft and slightly caramelised.
6
Add flour to the onion and cook for a minute or two. This will thicken the gravy once the liquid has been added.
7
Add the red wine and a couple of sprigs of thyme and on a high heat to reduce slightly. Bring to the boil and then simmer.
8
Add the vegetable stock and a tsp of balsamic vinegar and leave the gravy to cook on a low heat.
9
Remove the bubble and squeak from the fridge. Melt some butter in a frying pan and fry the cakes gently in the butter until browned and crisp on both sides.
10
While they are frying, check the gravy, and season.
11
Melt a little more butter in another frying pan and fry your eggs (1 per person) season with salt and pepper.
12
Serve two bubble and squeak patties per person with the egg on top and the gravy drizzled around the side.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
