Just thought I would post some recipes in here as we were given a book full of baby and toddler recipes when Jonah was born. Seeing as I won't be able to use them for ages I thought I would share them with you all and see how you go with them.
From 6 months:
Ground Rice Cereal
Prep time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 5 mins
Makes 6 serves
1/4 cup short grain polished rice
1/2 cup water
Grind the rice to a smooth powder in a spice grinder or use a mortar and pestle.
Put in a small saucepan and stir in the water. Stir over low heat for 2-3 mins, or until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Grins the rolled oats to a fine powder in a spice grinder or a small food processor.
Put the oats in a small saucepan and gradually whisk in the milk and 1/4 cup water until well combined. Slowly bring to the boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat.
90g lean round or chuck steak or veal steak
1 new potato
1 small carrot
1 baby onion
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
small piece of bay leaf
sprig of parsley
Put the steak, potato, carrot and onion in a small saucepan. Add the garlic, the piece of bay leaf and parsley sprig, then cover with the water. Cover, bring to the boil, the simmer gently until the meat is tender. Add more water as needed.
Discard the baby leaf and parsley. Blend the ingredients with a little of the cooking liquid.
1/2 red cooking apple, peeled and cored
2 boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
Thinly slice the apple and cut the chicken into small cubes. Place the chicken tenderloin pieces in a steamer and arrange the apple slices over the chicken. Set over a saucepan of boiling water and steam for about 5 minutes, or until tender.
Puree or finely chop the chicken and apple, together with a little of the cooking liquid.
