Zucchini fritters with millet and cauliflower puree
This dish requires, as with most vegetarian dishes, a little more preparation. But it pays off! You can prepare and shape the fritters the day before, so just bake them the next day. You can even prepare the puree ingredients the day before. So the second day you will have a complete, light, and yet very filling meal that the children will love much faster.
Preparation steps
- Add salt to the zucchini and let it stand for about 30 minutes. Drain well. Add egg, cheese, garlic, parsley and bread crumbs to the drained zucchini, stirring to distribute the ingredients evenly. If the mixture is not compact enough, add more bread crumbs if necessary.
- Shape the fritters, roll them in bread crumbs and bake them in baking paper lined in the oven for about 30 minutes at 200 ° C until they turn brown and are completely baked.
- Millet and cauliflower puree:
- Meanwhile, tear the cauliflower into smaller flowers, place, along with the water and salt, in a fireproof dish and cook in the microwave for 20 minutes on Max or until the cauliflower is soft. Remove with a slotted spoon into a mixer, and keep the water in which it was cooked and in it, in another bowl, cook the millet over a moderate heat for 10 minutes or until the millet swells and softens.
- Add the millet to the cauliflower in a blender and puree everything. If necessary, add a little water to make the puree a uniform consistency.
