Veggieballs with Sweetcorn, Carrots and Peas

A long time ago, the Findus Co. (Birds Eye in UK) launched on the Italian market a sort of sticks made by vegetables. They were delicious, but they didn't last long, because the Findus decided not to sell them anymore. Fortunately, my mum tried to recreate the recipe at home, and they came out GREATE! But we prefer to cook them in a ball shape, it's easier.

Ingredients

2 Potatoes

Peas (a fistful)

Sweetcorn (a fistful)

2 Carrots

1 Egg

Flour

Breadcrumbs

Salt

Peanut oil

• Boil or steam the carrots, the peas and the potatoes.
• Cut the cook vegetables and mash the potatoes with a fork.
• Add the carrots, salt and peas to the mashed potatoes, and, after draining, also the sweetcorn.
• Now mix with the fork and then cook for 2 minutes in the pan, just to dry the mixture.
• Now put the mixture in a bowl, add the egg and mix it.
• Shape the veggieballs, cover in flour and then in breadcrumbs.
• Fry the veggieballs when the oil is very hot.
• Season with salt.
• Now eat everything!!!
