Bubble and Squeak Cakes (Egg-Free)
A traditional British dish made with leftover vegetables, mashed and fried into cakes. This version uses a flaxseed meal to replace the egg for binding.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mashed potatoes
- 1 cup Cooked cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup Cooked Brussels sprouts, chopped
- 1/2 cup Cooked carrots, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1/2 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with the 3 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a thick gel.
- 2In a large bowl, add the 2 cups of mashed potatoes, the 1 cup of cooked cabbage (chopped), the 1 cup of cooked Brussels sprouts (chopped), the 1/2 cup of cooked carrots (chopped), the 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped), the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix these ingredients together thoroughly.
- 3Pour the thickened flaxseed mixture into the large bowl with the vegetables and mashed potatoes. Stir everything together until it is well combined and the mixture holds its shape.
- 4Place a large skillet on the stovetop and add the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
- 5Divide the vegetable mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 1/2-inch thick. Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet.
- 6Fry the patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. They are ready when they are golden brown and heated all the way through. You should hear a gentle sizzle as they cook.
- 7Remove the Bubble and Squeak Cakes from the skillet and serve them immediately while they are hot.
