Baby Food
3oz red lentils, washed
2 medium leeks, white part, chopped
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, finely chopped
1 large sweet potato or yam, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato puree
2oz unsalted margarine or Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread (trans fat free)
1 bay leaf
1 pint unsalted vegetable stock or plain water
Melt the margarine in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the chopped leeks and saute for 5 mins until tender. Add the finely chopped carrots and celery and saute for 5 mins.
Stir in the lentils and chopped sweet potato. Add the stock or water, tomato puree and bay leaf. Simmer for 15-20 mins until all the vegetables are tender and the mixture is not too wet. (If it gets too dry, add a little more water during cooking.)
Once cooked, retrieve the bay leaf.
This can be pureed for babies not yet coping with lumpy food, or eaten as it is.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
