Serving cooked rice with vegetables is nice and soft so it’s a good way to introduce texture to your baby’s food. Butternut squash is now more readily available in supermarkets and it is rich in vitamin A. In this baby food recipe, you could also make this with pumpkin instead of squash.
 

 

 

The more you allow your baby to experiment using a spoon, the quicker she will learn to feed herself. Bowls with a strong suction base are a good idea at this age . Also if you put a clean splash mat under the high chair you can recycle food that hasn’t quite reached its desired final destination …

Ingredients

50g onion, chopped
25g butter
100g basmati rice
150g chopped and peeled butternut squash
450ml boiling water
3 ripe tomatoes (approx 225g) skinned, de-seeded and chopped
50g Cheddar cheese, grated

 

Method:

Saute the onion in half the butter until softened. Stir in the rice until well coated. Pour over the boiling water, cover and cook for 8 minutes over a high heat. Stir in the chopped butternut squash, reduce the heat and cook, covered for about 12 minute or until the water has been absorbed.

Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a small pan, add the chopped tomatoes and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese until melted. Stir the tomato and cheese mixture into the cooked rice.
