Homemade Vege nuggets/fingers

[~Debbie~]

I am sure most of us have seen these at the shops, and have used them as the 'emergency' dinner, but, i want to make them myself..

Anyone have some recipe's please?

[Jaycee]

Ooh, I'd be interested in this too please!

even homemade chicken nuggets, using mince (i have one using chunks of chicken) would be good, cause i could adapt it abit

I don't do nuggets, but I do chicken strip things.
I just get breast fillets and slice them thinly, and then crumb them. I make thai style ones where I put a bunch of coriander through the food processor (like you would for basil in pesto) and I add the coriander to the crumbs.
I then either shallow fry, or cook in the oven.
I serve them with sweet chilli mayo, which is just mayo with sweet chilli mixed in.

Peanut Butter Fingers

Mashed potato
grated carrot
grated zucchini
chopped onion
(celery/leek/pumpkin....)

peanut butter (you can omit or use cheese or salsa or sweetchilli sauce or BBQ sauce or....)

beaten egg in bowl

bread crumbs


---------------------------
Combine all the vegies with your choice of sauce/herbs/peanut butter.

Roll into 'fingers' (fish finger size)

If you have time, cool them in fridge for awhile (will help make them harder)

Roll the fingers in the beaten egg

Roll the fingers in bread crumbs to coat

Cook the fingers in oil in a frypan


These can also be frozen, and reheated in the oven.

i think this idea came from 4 ingredients?

You cut up bite sized pieces of chicken, coat them in mayonnaise, then coat in crumbs and bake.

The taste is sooooooooooo delicious!!!

I make the vege fingers with 1 cup mashed potato, grated carrot, grated zucchini and 1/2 cup corn. I mix them all together with an egg to bind them and then roll them into balls, dip in crushed up corn flakes and baked in the oven for 10 minutes or so.
