Ok, so I may the tendencies of a small child when it comes to veggies. In general it’s best if they’re snuck into a recipe rather than the star… And egg fried rice is wonderful for that! The last couple of nights I’ve only been feeding myself so I took this opportunity to have egg fried rice (the boy doesn’t really like rice…).
Except, because I’m feeling poor and penniless (the new job forgot to pay me at the end of the month…), I couldn’t afford prawns so I had a red pepper, chopped mushrooms and grated carrot. Do you see how I snuck the carrot in there?! And grated as well so you don’t accidently end up with a mouth full of just carrot!
Chopping veggies up really small or grating them is an excellent way to try them, or to get small children to try them! Butternut squash is pretty good grated in the egg fried rice.
Just be warned, this will not work for all veggies, cutting an onion up really small will not fool me or the boy, we will find it and we will reject the meal!
