Lentil and vege feast for babies - Real Recipes from Mums

Great way to start serving veges to babies. I have been giving this to my 7 month old daughter.

Ingredients (serves 3)

4 brussel sprouts
1 handful Frozen organic/regular mix garden vegetable (carrot, capsicum, long beans)
1 cup Lentils (soaked overnight)
1.5 cup Water or homemade broth

Method

Put all ingredients in a slow cooker, set it to high for 2 hours and walk away.
You can Mash with a fork or blend with a hand blender and serve. Or serve it as it is if your bub is good at handling chunky veges :)

Notes

I have a really cute mini slow cooker that I used specifically for making slow cooking dish for my daughter. You don't have to do the same. Just cook a big batch in your slow cooker and take a portion out for your baby. As for the remaining, you can add some salt, spices, herbs, curry powder, or barbequed meat for the adults!

I’m new to lentils and love that they’re so healthy and also easy to pop in so many dishes

I have never had Brussel sprouts, I probably should introduce them to my kids at some point.

I was shocked the first time my grandson had Brussel sprout and didn’t spit it out. He was approx 8 months old. Now, at one, he spits them out. Doesn’t take long for their tastes to change

Great idea. I love that you can then add meat and flavouring for adults.
