We are home from our amazing 5-day vacation in Jamaica and are feeling well rested, re-energized, and more than a few pounds heavier. We had a great time away and spent some much need down time on the beach, tuned out and livin' the dream. We experienced quite the adventure en route home which eventually lead us to having our bags searched and our beloved jerk chicken sauce confiscated at security. Long story short, I'm destine to be without jerk chicken sauce. Thankfully and fellow foodie colleague of mine has agreed to hand over his rumoured amazing recipe to me. Fingers crossed.
One of the challenges of preparing for a vacation is working on emptying your fridge out as best you can before you hit the road to avoid wasting food. We were scheduled to head to Detroit after lunch on Saturday and I knew I had an entire head of broccoli I needed to use up. I stumbled across a broccoli bites recipe here and thought they would be tasty served with a bowl of soup. I adapted the recipe a bit and they turned out pretty good! I dipped mine in ranch dressing while the hubster dipped in franks hot sauce. Yummy!Yield: 8-10 patties
Ingredients
1 large head broccoli, cut into small-medium pieces and steamed
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons minced onion
3 eggs
1 cup of seasoned Italian breadcrumbs or plain breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon of each basil, oregano, thyme, parsley, garlic powder
salt & pepper
Method
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. With your hands, form small patties (about the size of slidder burgers) and lay on a parchment lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Bake at 375F for 25 minutes, turning the patties after the first 15 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!
