Kid Friendly Recipes

Kid friendly recipes, easy vegetarian kid friendly lunch recipes such as zucchini fritters and fried cheese.

My mother-in-law uses to make zucchini fritters that are the best I’ve ever eaten. She often uses whatever vegetable she has available, such as cauliflower, eggplants or chard.

Italian fried seafood

Fried calamari recipe is the most popular seafood fry. It is better to use squid that is not too fresh as it tends to be tough. It is advisable to freeze it beforehand otherwise it becomes hard.

Just toss in salted wheat flour and fry. Serve with lemon slices.

A friend of mine used to put French fries into the frying machine a little bit earlier and then added the ’calamari’ (as it cooks in less time than the potatoes). It becomes an exquisite mix that always ensures that there is nothing left on the plate!

In Rome, they use to serve a dish that includes chunks of vegetables and cheese.

Also in Rome there are the famous ’supli’, round fried balls of rice and an exquisite fried cheese recipe with Italian mozzarella known as ’mozzarella in carrozza’.

It could be considered a healthy fast food!

As a sweet choice, there are the so-called ’ciambelle’ or ’fatti fritti’ (doughnut recipe) that can be found in almost all bars as a breakfast pastry, or made at home to delight family and friends.

These doughnuts, together with zeppole and chiacchiere are typical candies used during Carnival in Italy.

If you want to prepare healthy dishes, use extra virgin olive oil. This oil resists high temperature without modifying its structure, becoming easier to digest other than healthier.
