One of my challenges with the family is leaves! Getting my kids including my husband who is the bigger kid when it comes to eating leaves. They don’t want leaves on their plates. My husband gets cheeky and says – do I have a substitute for the leaves? Often I say – who doesn’t eat leaves does not get dessert but then again – you want the kids to eat their veggies and enjoy them – food should never be a punishment. So that’s where I have to think of how am I going to make these brats eat their greens. Don’t get me wrong – they do eat veggies well; including their broccoli and eggplant. We just don’t want leaves.
Step-by-step: Swiss Chard Patties
Prepare Vegetables: Clean, wash, and pat dry the Swiss Chard. Chop it into small, thin strips. Clean, peel and grate the parsnip or potatoes using the thick side of the grater. Veggies mixture: Add all ingredients to a bowl, starting with the finely chopped Swiss chard and grated parsnip or potato. Followed by the onion, garlic, herbs, and grated cheese. Next, add the flour. Season with salt and pepper. Then, add the eggs. Combine well. Shape the patties—Using your hands, shape small golf-size balls with the mixture. Make a ball, then flatten it on the palm of your hands. Carefully place them in the hot, oiled frying pan. Cook the patties– Add a tablespoon of oil to a large frying pan over medium heat. You want to cook them on medium for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove them on a clean paper hand towel to absorb any excess oil. Yogurt dip: Mix all ingredients in a bowl to combine. Keep chilled in the fridge until needed.
