Hey guys,
I hope you're all having a fab day :) Tonight I'm making Rumbledethumps! You may not have heard of it before...It's a traditional dish from the Scottish Borders. The main ingredients are potato, cabbage and onion. Similar to Irish colcannon, and English bubble and squeak, it is either served as an accompaniment to a main dish or as a main dish itself. It's so tasty....and a wonderfully filling comfort food!
There aren't really any set quantities of the individual ingredients, it's really a matter of personal preference, but I've listed below what I've used here....incase you want to give it a go!
____________________________________________________________________

About 60 grams of butter (for frying)
2 Spring onions sliced
2 good handfuls of grated cheese
half a head of cabbage (shredded)
5 good sized potatoes (quartered)
200g shredded ham
1 large onion (chopped)

00:05well hello there folks and a very warm welcome back to what's for tea it's lovely to see you
00:11all again and thanks for coming over for this week's archive recipe and this one is from seven
00:17years ago and it's one of my favorites it's not the best quality filming in the world but the recipe
00:22is amazing so you must give this a go you know if you do like your potato based recipes it's
00:29potato cheese ham onion cabbage yeah i'll just pass you over to me from seven years ago and i'll catch
00:36up with you at the end the first thing you want to do is get your pan on guys and
00:41get some water
00:41boiling for your potatoes pop your potatoes in and just let them cook until softened probably take
00:49about half an hour so once those are on you can move over to your vegetables in a large frying
00:55pan
00:55you want to get your butter melted in the bottom once it's starting to bubble you can throw in your
01:01onions and also your spring onions and just give them a wee stir round
01:09once they've softened up a wee bit guys
01:14you can go ahead and put your cabbage in i'm just using a savoy cabbage because i like the texture
01:19but you can just use a you know an ordinary white cabbage if you prefer i just prefer savoy cabbage
01:26so just stir the whole the whole lot in together and give it about five minutes and then give it
01:33another wee stir now this will take about the same length of time as your potatoes to cook and soften
01:39properly so they should both be ready about the same time just check on it every now and again just
01:46to
01:46move it around it doesn't matter if you get a wee bit of colour on it but you don't want
01:51it burning
01:51on the underside and being raw on the top obviously so i would say pop back every five minutes and
01:59just
01:59give it a good stir round you can see the bottom of the pan is now starting to get a
02:04bit of colour
02:05that means we're getting close to it being ready obviously so this is about 15 minutes into cooking guys
02:17you just want to make sure your cabbage is properly cooked so this is us done guys that's about 25
02:24minutes later
02:26and the cabbage should look like this
02:31so you just want to take off the heat and set it to the side until you got on with
02:35mashing your potato
02:36so go back to your potatoes guys and just drain the water out and return them back to your pan
02:44it's best to use dry potatoes if you can get them something like maris papers or king edwards
02:50just makes the texture nice and dry just pop some milk in and give it a rough mash you don't
02:56want to
02:57mash them too finely i would say about halfway and that's good enough
03:11just give them a wee stir round to get them off the bottom of the pan
03:13makes stirring everything else in a bit easier
03:18so to that you want to pop in your spring onion your onion and your cabbage from earlier
03:25and just give it a good mix through then you want to throw on half of your ham
03:31and give it another mix through just make sure it's thoroughly combined guys
03:41and once you've done that you can pop the rest of your ham on top
03:45and just give it another wee mix through
03:51and that's it and all you have to do now is transfer that to an oven proof dish
03:59i'm just using my trusty my trusty pyrex dish this gets used for everything
04:04i should actually buy more but this does so just pop it into a dish guys
04:09and then top that off some of your grated cheese
04:13pop it into your oven for about half an hour on gas mark six or seven
04:19you'll know when it's ready when your cheese is bubbling and browned
04:23and that's it guys that's out the oven and it was so tasty
04:29absolutely delicious that's a lovely combination of flavors
04:38that's it guys so i would definitely urge you to give this a wee go if you like sort of
04:43potato based
04:44recipes it's very nice
04:49and all you need to do is pop it into plate
04:54and i find that beetroot goes really well with this so do let me know what you thought of that
05:00one
05:00i mean it's from so long ago a lot of these i forget about but there are certain ones that
