Any devious ideas for hiding veggies?

If you chop the mushrooms or any veg really finely then you can hide it in there.As for the carrots how about making some veg soup.If you puree the soup then the kids wont know it has veg in as they cant see it

My grandad always used to mash the carrots in with the mash spuds! He said it was special orange potatoe. I didn't a clue untill I was old enough to see what he did!

puree the veg (cooked) before adding to the mince?

Do they like/eat tomato? Adding tomatoes to a soup etc will disguise the colour and taste of most other veg.

I used to grate carrot and cheese together and put in sandwiches with either salad cream, mayo or burger relish, and lettuce they ate them tho they wouldn't eat carrots normally

I grate it into spag bol.. and savoury mince.. and alsorts!

Mine will eat raw carrot, they just don't like it cooked!!

I also mash well cooked carrots (and turnip and swede and parsnip and anything else that is mashable!) into mashed potato and blend it into gravy.. very sneaky!!!

Thank's for the replies am just wondering how much to use before it can be detected and also when to add it to the mince. Also i read that you can freeze your own veg can anyone tell me how to do this?.

I can usually throw a few carrots in there without anyone noticing... especially because it gets blended at the end and the orange colour is explained by the red lentils!

Woo hoo it worked :j :j ds (3) did not eat much but thats ok but dd (13) who refuses to eat any veg........... ate most of it ha ha ha she left some because she could see the onion in it i did not grate it just chopped it butdid add grated carrots, turnip and mushrooms. I personally did not like the texture i prefer my veg chunky but the main thing is dd ate it will deffo do this again and am hunting the threads for more ways of hiding veg in meals.
