Recipe: Rumbledethumps

Onions. Cabbage. Potatoes. They don't sound very exciting, do they? On their own, they might not amount to much. But taken together, they're a winning combination.

There's something about both onions and cabbage that makes them go wonderfully well with potatoes - especially when they're all mashed up and cooked together. You see it in dishes like bubble and squeak (from northern England), colcannon (Ireland) and Stamppot (Netherlands).

The Scottish version is called rumbledethumps - or sometimes rumblethumps. It's a delicious dish that can provide plenty of sustenance on a cold day. It's also an excellent way of using up left-over vegetables. It's often served as an accompaniment to a main course, but it's also good enough to make as a meal on its own.
