Low FODMAP Bubble and Squeak with Poached Egg

Maria
It is so simple since the crucial ingredients are just potatoes and cabbage. Some people add other, leftover vegetables, but I like to keep it that way.

Ingredients
  

  • 660 g cooked, leftover mashed potatoes
  • 250 g cooked cabbage
  • 50 g leek, green leaves
  • 20 g clarified butter
  • 15 g potato starch flour

salt, pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Firstly, you need a leftover mashed potato and a cooked cabbage. If you don’t have it, you need to boil potatoes and mash them; in a separate pot boil cabbage until soft. Remember to remove andy hard stems from the cabbage.
    • Finely chop the cooked cabbage and set aside.
    • Preheat a non stick pan on a medium heat. Melt some of the clarified butter.
    • Finely chop the green leaves from the leek and add them to the pan. When they start cooking, you can add the cabbage. Fry until soft and coloured. Remember to toss the leek so they are evenly cooked.
    • Now, after your potatoes are mashed in a pot, you can add the vegetables from the pan into the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
    • Divide the mix into four. From each you can form a burger shaped patty. 
    • Sprinkle the potato starch flour on the plate. Place the Bubble and Squeak patty on top of the flour and turn it, so it is evenly coated.
    •  Preheat a non stick pan on a medium heat. Melt the leftover clarified butter. Place the Bubble and Squeak patties in the pan and fry until golden brown, on both sides.
    •  If you are making this Low FODMAP Bubble and Squeak with Poached Egg, you will now need to boil water with a bit of vinegar in a small pot. In the meantime, place the egg on a sieve, to take away excess whites. The fresher egg the better. Then create a swirl and quickly pour the egg in it. Cook to your liking. Usually, after 1-2 minutes it will create a soft yolk. 2-3 minutes and your yolk will be set.
    • Assemble. You can place the ready Low FODMAP Bubble and Squeak on a paper towel, to take away some of the fat.
    • Then put the Bubble and Squeak patty on a plate and place your poached egg on top. Serve!

    Notes

    I have to say that Irish cooking has a lot in common with my origins - Polish cuisine. Love of potatoes, simple vegetables combination, not overcomplicated seasoning, that truly produces extraordinary food. Maybe the reason for that is that in both country’s history food was often scarce and cooks often had to cook from what they’ve had in the pantry and simply be creative with their cooking.
