What veggies do you hide in Spag Bog?

[Melsy]

I couldn't decide if this should go in Recipe Swap or Feeding for Toddlers!!     Please feel free to move if you like!!  Spagetti bolognaise is one of my favourite dinners.  And DS will actually usually eat some, which is a miracle, cause I swear the kid survives on air, not food!        Man, fussy eating sucks!!

Anyway, I have gotten lazy and stopped adding veggies to it, which I know that I should be because apart from corn on the cob, he eats NO veggies.     I used to have some purred carrot and zucchini in the freezer to add to it, but what other veggies should I put in it??  Please bear in mind that they have to be pureed, cause if he notices, he won't touch it again (I have learnt this the hard way!!)

What do you put in your spag bog that the kids don't know about??  Any other toddler favourites that are easy to hide pureed veggies in?  His none eating is driving me bonkers!!

i put in carrots, mushrooms and sometimes red peppers, i also have to hide the veggies from dd

Finely chopped onions and mushrooms kind of dissolve into the sauce.

I also use courgettes a lot, and red peppers. If you want the red peppers to disappear, roast or grill them first

[Samuel's mum]

Red peppers roasted, take off skin - really work with tomatoes in a spag bol. Add a touch of balsamic vinegar and brown sugar too.
I also add mushrooms, onions.

I kinda like the idea of leaving this here.  Lurking for ideas so I can hide veggies from my hubby.  How bad is that?

I puree all together these, not just for spag bol, but stews, soups and the like:

Carrots, spinach or greens, basil, parsley (loads of iron in parsley) sometimes I add courgettes (zucchini) or arucola (roquette/rocket) salad.

Usually whatever vegetables that I have to use up.  Brocolli, carrots, courgette, mushrooms although they do notice if I add extra mushrooms and was told that it wasn't nice, one of them refused it!
I might try the peppers, sounds nice. Thanks.

I add carrots, courgettes (zucchini), mushrooms, onions, peppers, garlic, and use about 1/2 the normal amount of minced beef.  I used to puree it all for her but she'll eat it as it is now.

Oh I have to puree, not for mine but some of the childminding children will not eat vegetables and this is the only way that I can do it.
