This is an ideal dish for the beginners of Baby Led Weaning. It's soft and creamy yet has texture. Sweet potatoes guarantee that your baby will like it.
Ingredients
1 medium yellow onion
2-3 carrots
4 celery stalks
1 large sweet potato
1.5 cup red lentils
1 red pepper
½ cup of chopped parsley
⅓ tsp Turmeric
⅓ tsp Curry
Instructions
Chop the onion, celery and cut carrots in circles. Cube sweet potato into ½ inch cubes. Rinse red lentils.
Add sweet potato and lentils. Pour enough water so that all the vegetables are covered by a ¼ inch=pinky width (not more bc the dish will become too soupy). Lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes.
Add chopped red pepper and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, turmeric and curry. Cook for 10 minutes.
NOTE: red lentils fall apart very quickly and become creamy. They are perfect for a stew like this and definitely not good for adding to a salad. Keep that in mind.
