Kids in the Kitchen

These fritters are a great way to encourage kids to eat veggies in any combination you/they prefer and the recipe is so simple, that the kids can be involved in the process of making them too. The veggies listed here are only suggestions and can be substituted for others if desired. Grated pumpkin or sweet potato, chopped mushrooms, capsicum or even frozen mixed veggies are also great options and some chopped fresh parsley always works a treat. Served with your favourite salad or in a bread roll as a 'burger' substitute, I'm sure they'll be a winner.

Vegetable Fritters

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain flour (I prefer wholemeal for extra fibre)
1/2 cup soy, almond or rice milk,
1/2 cup of either peas or corn
1 medium zucchini grated
1 medium carrot grated
1/2 cup broccoli florets finely chopped
1/2 brown onion finely diced
1/2 teaspoon veggie stock powder
Salt and pepper to taste.

Whisk the flour and soy milk to form a batter then add stock powder.
Stir through the veggies and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and add a little olive oil.
Add a tablespoon of the mixture to the pan at a time, shaping into small rounds.
Cook the fritters until brown on one side then flip over carefully and cook the other side.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately.
