Broccoli-Cauliflower Fritters

1/2 lb fresh broccoli clorets
1/2 lb fresh cauliflower florets
2 cups boiling water
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 small onion, diced
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teas salt
Vegetable oil
Cook florets in 2 cups boiling water in a medium saucepan until tender, about 10 to 12 min. (you can also cook these in microwave until tender)
Drain; then mash florets with a fork or potato masher in a large bowl. Stir in eggs and next 3 ingredients. Pour oil to a depth of 1/4 in into a large skillet; when oil is hot, drop broccoli mixture by spoonfuls into hot oil for 1 to 2 min on each side. Remove from oil to a wife rack on with a paper towel under the rack. Keep warm until ready to serve. These are delicious to serve with dips or soups and a great way to get the kids to eat more veggies without them knowing it. You could even use zucchini and carrots or any combination of vegetables. Just be sure they are not vegetables that have lots of water in them, such as spinach as you would need to adjust the amount of flour/egg in them.
