Young chefs, why not do something different during the Pesach holidays with your mum, dad, sibling or grandma and make this delicious and versatile recipe?

This could be a fun activity during Pesach, where you can substitute breadcrumbs with matzo meal. Later in the year, serve them as a main vegetarian meal during the festival of Shavuot.

You can also use oregano or parsley instead of thyme depending on your preference….This could be your secret recipe weapon to wow your family and show off your culinary skills.
