I recently learned a new recipe: the potato zucchini and eggplant croquettes. I discovered it thanks to my husband’s research on Google and his constant experimenting in the kitchen.
From now on, since he’s doing so well, I’ll gladly give him free rein in the kitchen
I admit that…he did a pretty good job.. 🙂
This is also a handy recipe for using up leftover potatoes and to use zucchini and eggplants before they go bad since they tend to wilt after a few days.
It’s also a useful recipe to teach kids to eat vegetables. Mixed into the potato dough, they certainly won’t notice, and when they do (or maybe it’s better not to tell them 🙂 ), they’ll realize that the good vegetables that are so good for us aren’t poisonous at all.
