Notes:

• This is traditionally a leftovers dish  you can just throw all the remaining cooked vegetables from a roast together. The one thing you will definitely need though is potatoes either mashed or roasted enough that they can be squashed down.
• This Bubble and squeak recipe is one you can make from scratch rather than leftovers. I think its absolutely delicious with the inclusion of cabbage and lets face it, there just arent enough yummy cabbage recipes around!
• Cook the cabbage until it is cooked through you really dont want crunchy greens in this recipe.
• If you want to make this a little more fancy, add a tablespoon of mustard to the mixture before pan frying.
