A beautifully crisp, golden exterior holds a center of comforting mashed potato filled with rich pork mince.  Serve this as shown as a butlered  hors d' oeuvre or on a small hors d' oeuvre plate nestled in the aioli.  

Bermondsey Bomb

Near Tower Bridge, Bermondsey is a busy area of converted warehouses and stylish riverside flats. A hip crowd mingles in cosy pubs, eateries and indie shops lining village-like Bermondsey Street. Bermondsey Square hosts an antiques market. Gourmet food stalls and bars sit beneath Maltby Street Market’s railway arches. The Fashion and Textile Museum and the White Cube contemporary art gallery attract a cultured crowd.

Serves 6

Total time:  1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

Bermondsey Bomb

2 1/4 lb of Yukon or golden potatoes 

1 onion, finely chopped

1 large garlic clove, finely chopped

1 pinch of chili flakes

6 oz of pork mince (raw ground pork)

3 oz of plain flour

2 eggs, beaten

4 oz of breadcrumbs, dry

2 tbsp of olive oil

olive oil, for deep-frying

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

Aioli

2 egg yolks

1 small garlic clove, crushed

1 tsp lemon juice

5 oz of olive oil

Spicy Tomato Sauce

1 onion, finely chopped

1 pinch of chili flakes

14 oz of tinned chopped tomatoes

2 tbsp of olive oil

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Aioli

Whisk the egg yolks, garlic, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Blitz with a hand blender or in a small food processor and slowly drizzle in the olive oil until you get a smooth, emulsified sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Mashed Potatoes 

Place the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces in a large pan with cold salted water and bring to the boil. When cooked through, drain and leave to cool.  Mash the potatoes, season to taste and set aside. Keep warm.

Pork Mince

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan and the onion. Cook over a medium heat until they start to caramelize (about 20–30 minutes), then add the garlic and a pinch of chili flakes. Cook for another minute and then add the meat. Cook for 10 minutes, season to taste and set aside. Keep warm.

Spicy Tomato Sauce

Heat the olive oil in another pan and cook the onion over a medium heat until soft. Add a pinch of chili flakes and the tomatoes and cook until reduced, with almost no juices left. Season to taste.

Preheat a deep-fryer or deep pan of olive oil to 356°F, or until a cube of bread browns in 20 seconds – you want enough oil to cover 2–3 of the 'bombs' in one go.

Bermondsey Bombs

Make a ball of around 3 1/2 oz mashed potatoes. Use your thumb to press a hole into the center. Fill the cavity with the meat mixture and cover with more mash to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining potato and meat mixture. Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. One by one, roll the balls first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs

Fry the bombs until golden.

Spoon some aioli into the center of each plate and place the bombs on top. Place a spoonful of the tomato sauce on top and serve or alternatively, server the bomb with a spoonful of aioli on top first then a smaller spoonful of the spicy tomatoes on top of that.  

Garnish with a small parsley or cilantro leaf.
