If you have a few old carrots, parsnips and onions hanging around in the fridge, use them up in this delicious rosti recipe. Simple to make and cook, serve up your rostis with a fresh green salad, a soup, or even an indulgent gravy and mashed potato for a really comforting weekend supper. The best part is, these rostis can be made using any vegetables, so if you need to swap in a leek for the onions or a squash for the carrots, go ahead.
Ingredients (to serve 4):
- 1 1/2 cups of grated mixed vegetables, such as carrots, leeks, parsnips, onions, or squash
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 3 tablespoons of grated cheese
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons of plain flour
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- Mix the egg, cheese, salt, pepper and cinnamon through the mixed vegetables.
- Mix the flour through, then loosely shape the mix into palm-sized balls or patties.
- Fry 2 – 3 rostis in the pan at a time, making sure both sides are browned and crisped.
- Serve immediately.
Another excellent twist on this recipe is to add a few pieces of cooked bacon or ham to the mix, or even some tinned fish such as mackerel or sardines.
