Method

1. Start by slightly cooking the cauliflower in a pan of boiling water for 3-4 mins until it is just beginning to soften
2. Remove the cauliflower from the boiling water – if you are using frozen peas putting them in the water for about 3 minutes will ensure they defrost
3. Drain the pan and set your peas aside
4. Cut your cauliflower into bite sized chunks (about the same size as your peas) and leave on a paper towel to drain off any excess moisture
5. Add your cauliflower, peas, grated carrot, diced pepper, sliced onion, flour, paprika and egg into a bowl
6. Combine all the ingredients well – this can be done with your hands if you fancy getting nice and messy with your little ones
7. Heat up a large frying pan with a drizzle of vegetable oil (it’s very important that your pan is hot before you put your patties in so don’t be afraid to wait!)
8. Once your pan is hot you can mould your mixture into burger shaped patties and begin to cook them
9. They should need about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re just starting to crisp and are becoming a lovely golden-brown colour
10. When they’re done you can serve them plain to younger children, or with a fried egg on top for yourself or your older kids. A healthy and easy way to sneak some vegetables into their diet!
