How to train a picky eater - fishcakes

Happy New Year! One of my new year resolutions is to entice my children with wonderful ingredients. 

It's Jan and I find myself with lots of left over mash. Costco makes wonderful creamy mash (only for the festive season). This makes a good short cut to comfort food for busy parents or career gals and guys. It's a good idea to stock up on this in your fridge / freezer. 

Here's a simple recipe for the kids and yourself to enjoy!

1/ It really just takes 10 minutes to steam some nutritious cauliflower and carrots. Blend the vegetables into a pulp. 


2/ Combine left over mash, blended vegetables, 1Tbsp capers, 4 anchovies, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 fillet cooked salmon (or any fish), chopped dill, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix and mash. This is the perfect way to disguise those vegetables. I usually involve the kids in this process. They love mashing the ingredients together. They totally forget that there's vegetables inside. I also talk to them about the new ingredients like capers and anchovies and they're hooked.


3/ Shape into patties, dust with flour, dip in a beaten egg and coat in matzo meal or panko breadcrumbs. Fry in oil. Serve with cucumber salad and a dollop of sour cream.
