Bubble and Squeak, it's Not Greek....

Left-overs of meat and cabbage bubbled, they squeaked and carried-on in a pan, hence the name that followed of the famous British dish. As time moved on from the 18th century, the dish evolved to leaving out the meat and using cold veg such as potatoes, cabbage, brussels sprouts, etc. left-over from a Sunday dinner. This evolution is probably due to wartime rationing, when meat was less available.

This version of the dish is a fusion of British and Spanish. I found this in a compilation book of Yours magazine and had to try it.
