All the tips for not throwing away vegetable scraps
How many times have we left some vegetables because we made too much of them, because we didn't like them or because all of a sudden the plans changed. So what to do with them? There are various ways to recycle vegetables in the kitchen.
Here are some examples:
Vegetable meatballs
The easiest way to use vegetable leftovers is to make meatballs. Just chop everything, add minced meat, eggs, parmesan, salt and pepper, then cook them in a pan in extra virgin olive oil.
You can also get tasty burgers with the same dough but without Parmesan, you can serve them as a snack in stuffed sandwiches by adding tomato slices and a salad leaf, adding homemade mayonnaise with an egg, salt and a glass of seed oil, for a light mayonnaise add the Greek yogurt.
Younger people will love it and eat a healthier burger than they would eat at fast food restaurants.
