Tips

  • Try an omelette on a fussy eater who doesn't like to eat their veggies. Finely chop up tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, capsicum, chives, plus any other vegetable you like and disguise within the omelette mix.
  • You can also put more veggies into a fussy eaters' meal by adding finely grated carrot and zucchini to a tomato pasta sauce. These veggies will thicken the sauce beautifully, with no major change to the flavour. Disguise veggies in fritters, patties, frittatas and savoury muffins. Find a basic recipe, and then simply add grated or diced veggies to bulk it out.
