Add one egg, or if allergic egg replacer with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Form patties of desirable size and fry in a pan with canola oil or a vegetable oil spray until golden on both sides. Serve with a side salad.
“Secret Sauce”: This recipe is for 1 year +
This marinara sauce contains tons of veggies and kids will enjoy it anyway.
Step One: Preheat oven to 375. Peel and dice the following vegetables to total 4 cups- eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, garlic, carrot, celery, butternut squash and mushrooms. Toss the veggies with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, basil and rosemary (or dried Italian Seasoning.) Bake for 45-60 minutes stirring occasionally until soft and roasted.
Step Two: Once your veggies are in the oven, in a stainless steel pot, sauté 4 cloves of garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil. Add 2 large cans of tomato sauce (Delmonte) , a handful of fresh chopped basil and cook this for as long as the vegetables are roasting.
Step 3: Puree the veggies into the sauce in a food processor OR add the veggies to the pot and puree with a hand blender. The smoother the sauce is the less likely your child will recognize the vegetables.
This can be served with gfcf pastas, brown rice or quinoa.
