    Very easy to make, I used ordinary onion as didn't have spring onions. We had them for lunch with roasted plum tomatoes rather than the salsa.

    I loved how simple this was to make and the contrast between the bubble & squeak and salsa - yummy. Will definitely be making this one again

    Great, tasty and cheap. Unfortunately my cakes did stick to the pan a little but that was probably because I used a little oil spray instead of butter. Great way to use up leftover vegetables and really nice served with gammon instead of salsa.

    Very tasty. I used the left-over veg from christmas day so they were a little bit different. I used spring onions, carrots, sprouts and chopped up bacon (didnt use corriander). I was very pleased with how they turned out although I needed to cook them for a bit longer so they didnt fall apart and so they werent really soggy. They were a real hit with my family. We didnt have them with the salsa but served them with baked beans and fried egg (for the children) and a great dollop of branston for us. Yummy!
