About

If you have a fussy eater in your family as I do, this is an amazing way to get vegetables into their diet. This recipe also works well if you want to make canapés – they are wonderful if you want to serve them like a kofta, perfect with my fresh tomato sauce and completely heavenly when put into a ciabatta bun and made into a sub! You will need a food processor for this recipe.
