Broccoli Tots

photo credit. . .ONCE UPON A chef

I saw Joy Bauer, on the Today, making these, but only caught the end of the segment.  I wanted to rewind, watch and get ideas, but, by mistake, I changed channels so couldn't rewind  :-(  I was still able to catch the last few seconds and picked up enough from their comments to have a rough idea.  I'll experiment and post my recipe, with ingredients, amounts, baking time and photos soon.

*Broccoli - steamed until bright green then chopped.

Add:  Beaten egg, finely chopped onion and garlic, salt, pepper, seasonings you like, shredded sharp cheddar, panco - enough to hold ingredients together.  Form into balls and bake on a cookie sheet.

*You could also substitute, or use a combination of:  chopped carrot, broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower, beets, kohlrabi...(butternut, or any winter squash, by itself, or with carrot could be good. . .maybe with a little cinnamon and chopped pumpkin seed for a sweeter version of this originally savory idea). . .Zucchini could be shredded and used raw, the rest should be steamed first to break down the fiber a bit and bring out the flavors.

Wow! - Can't wait to try this! . . . Lin
