Veggie Fritter/Pancake

We are lucky that Matthew now has quite a few safe foods - but as we are following a new trial protocol where we offer all safe foods every day the cooking can be quite overwhelming. So I decided to make a few recipes where we combine safe foods. It felt so weird to cook a recipe; we are so used to feeding him single-ingredient foods! Luckily he loves these.

They are somewhere in between a fritter (not having batter per se) and a pancake (not fluffly per se) but are a super healthy treat for any kid and a great use of leftover veggies!

Combine these veggies in a large bowl (optional: you can saute the broccoli and cauliflower to soften beforehand, but allow to cool):

  • 1 cup finely diced broccoli (I used the stalks, once peeled)
  • 1 cup finely diced cauliflower (again, I used the stalks)
  • 1 cup grated carrots
Add these ingredients to the bowl and combine well:
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt (I used a greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
In a separate bowl, combine these, then add to your mixture and mix:

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or safe flour, but not coconut flour)
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tsp baking powder
Fold into the mixture:
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used mozzarella or cheddar)
Heat your safe (olive, coconut) oil in a frying pan.
Form small balls of the mixture and press them flat to fry on both sides.
