- 1. RECIPE IDEAS STEALTH VEGETABLES HAVE BEEN A HIT WITH THE U9S ‘VEGETABLE BLITZ’ BOLOGNESE To get extra vegetables into my son, I make a turkey bolognese for my family. I blitz extra vegetables like mushrooms, cauliflower and broccoli in the blender until they form a paste. I then add this to the usual tomato sauce. The boys are eating more vegetables than normal because they don’t know that they’re in there! LOUISE RECOMMENDS GIANT COUS COUS AS A QUICK AND EASY CARB OPTION Giant cous cous is a good alternative to pasta or rice if you’re short on time. It only takes 6-8 minutes to cook, and you can throw your vegetables in with it to boil. I find that green beans work well (chop into inch long pieces) or mange tout. I usually put a pinch of turmeric, cinnamon and cayenne pepper in with mine to give it some colour and spice. Just like pasta and rice, you can also cook it with stock to add a bit more flavour. A TRIED AND TESTED HOST FAMILY TRICK FOR DISGUISING STEWS The boys I look after don’t like stews and casseroles, so instead, I make the stews with various meat and lots of vegetables in them including spinach (which they don’t like) and then when its cooked, I drain off the gravy, get a ready-made Jus Rol short crust pastry (to make life easy) and place on top, glaze with beaten egg and bake. Hey presto! A gorgeous pie which they love – it’s so tasty! I usually serve this with more fresh vegetables and, of course, the gravy from the stew (that they don’t like! Ha!)
