Finger Food Recipe for Baby – Zucchini and Potato Cakes
Aug 15th, 2009 by Christine
Here’s a tasty finger food recipe for baby you might like to try this weekend. It yields 4 yummy cakes, so you might like to use the extras as a side dish for the rest of the family… alternatively, you can freeze the cakes to serve on another day when you have no time to cook!
To Make Baby’s Zucchini and Potato Cakes You Will Need…
1 zucchini (courgette)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp onion, finely chopped
1 medium potato, peeled
2 egg yolks
4 tsp whole wheat bread crumbs
1 tsp fresh chives, finely chopped
Saute the onion in a little olive oil for a few minutes until tender.
Grate the potato and zucchini into a bowl, then squeeze thoroughly to remove as much of their liquid as you can.
Add the onion, egg yolk, bread crumbs and seasonings and mix well.
Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan/skillet.
Divide the mixture into four, drop each section into the frying pan and flatten with a spatula.
Cook for a few minutes until the underside is brown, turn, and cook for a further few minutes.
Serve when cooled to a safe handling temperature!
These are a great way to include zucchini in baby’s diet, but are also delicious made with carrot instead, or even a combination of the two!
