How do you teach your kids to enjoy the flavor of food? It’s a mystery and we don’t have an answer. We do have some tasty and healthy alternatives to your kids Favourite Meals
Burgers
Do you look at your grill pan in horror after you’ve cooked a few frozen burgers? There’s enough fat in there to block billions of trillions of arteries (as Brian Cox would say.)
Get to the your butchers or supermarket and buy 500g of lean mince.
In a bowl, mix up:
500g mince
1 egg
a finely chopped onion
a slice of bread, broken into crumbs
you can also add mustard, worcester sauce, some salt and pepper or anything else that might add to the taste. Some people we know use marmite!
Bash it, mash it, mix it and stir it. Use your hands (cleaned) to make 8 burgers and place them on a baking tray. Cook for 20 minutes at 200c and turn them halfway.
Chips
We all love chips. But they are oozing with fat. Chip shop chips are better than many but give yourself a scare by squeezing a chip and watching the fat ooze out.
Potato wedges are the easiest things in the world to make. Chop up your potatoes into wedges. Toss in a tiny bit of oil and stick them into a baking tray. You can add herbs and spices for a bit more flavour and then bake for about 40 minutes at about 200c. Keep an eye and take them out when they are done. You can turn them half way to help them cook evenly.
Chicken and chips
This is simples: replace the chips with potato wedges and grill some chicken breasts. Breasts are less fiddly than the breadcrumb covered, greasy bone-filled things that turn up in buckets from the high street. Animals eat from buckets, not humans.
Fish and Chips
There’s much more to fish than fingers or battered cod. Pause at your fish counter (or, if you’re very lucky, go to your fishmonger) and ask him what he has that would be good for grilling for kids. He’ll find you boneless pieces that will do the trick.
Let’s be honest, it’s going to get covered in ketchup so don’t go too wild, and keep it simple. He’ll tell you how to cook it perfectly too!
Chinese
This is another easy one. It helps if you have a wok but a frying pan will work.
The basics of a stir fry for kids are a bit of chicken, some veg, a handful of noodle and some soy sauce.
Start by frying the chicken, chuck in the vegetables and noodles for about three minutes and stir them up with a bit of soy sauce. Bingo! You have made a stir fry.
Supermarkets sell chow-mein sauce, hoi sin sauce and more. You can make all your favourites and you can do it with just a few drops of oil.
Remember:
Cook with your kids and they’ll be far more likely to eat the food. Plan an extra few minutes to let them chop and allow for a bit of mess as they learn to peel and stir.
