Fish cutlets for children
Description
This recipe won't take much time. I think almost every mom has faced a situation when a child refuses to eat certain foods, especially fish dishes. And since fish contains many vitamins and minerals essential for a child's body, we often have to resort to little tricks. In this recipe, I'll show you how to make fish patties that your child will happily eat—and might even ask for seconds. The secret is that we'll hide a quail egg inside each patty, so when your child eats lunch, they'll get a little surprise. My nieces always get excited when they discover this unexpected treat inside the patty, which is why I often prepare these homemade fish patties for them. By the way, they're not only very healthy but also incredibly delicious, so the whole family can enjoy them, not just the kids. Serve hot.
