Ratatouille is a convenient baby dinner! If you have loads
of fresh vegetables in the fridge this is a winner as you can use whatever you
have at hand. Ratatouille is simply a vegetable stew as healthy baby recipes
contain no salt the trick is to make sure that you colour the vegetables to
deliver big flavour!
Baby Ratatouille
2 stems of Broccoli
1 Carrot
2 Small New potatoes
2 Spring Onions
1/3 Red Pepper
Tbsp of Canned Tomatoes
Fresh Chives
Rapeseed Oil
Black Pepper
Firstly, don’t peel anything, wash it well and leave the
skins on. Most of the great vitamins and minerals (as well as flavour) are held
in the skin. Slice your Potatoes and Carrot to a thickness of 2mm and then
begin frying in Rapeseed Oil. When the start to colour add your Spring Onions
(which should be in baby hand sized sections). Add the Red Pepper (again in
hand sized portions) and fry until the vegetables take on that flavoursome
browning and begin to crisp.
When the vegetables are nicely browned, season
with Black Pepper and stir in the Tomatoes (add enough Tomatoes to make a nice
sauce). Cook the vegetables in the Tomatoes (add a little water if it begins to
dry out) until they are soft enough to eat – not mushy).
Turn off the heat add
your chopped Chives and allow to sit in the pan until cool enough for baby to
eat. This sitting (convenient if you are getting baby ready to eat) really allows
the flavours to merge a little further.
Super healthy a great way for baby to eat lots of exciting
colours and shapes of vegetables too.
