Bubble and Squeak Cakes
Bubble and squeak is a traditional British recipe that is perfect for Boxing Day brunch. You can use up leftovers such as potatoes, cabbage and sprouts but throwing parsnips into the mix adds a lovely sweetness and helps to create an even more delicious dish. Fried in cacao butter for perfectly crispy edges, these cakes make the best addition to any breakfast or brunch anytime of year.
