I made this recipe to suit both Finn (11 month old) and his parents (30 years old). It consists in stuffed bell pepper for the ancients and a blended mix for the baby.
Ingredients:
Six bell peppers, tops removed but kept aside chopped.
1/2 cup red quinoa cooked and drained.
5 Roma tomatoes chopped.
1 small onion chopped.
2 garlic cloves chopped.
3 larges carrots chopped.
salt and pepper, thyme.
Saute the onion and garlic in a large pan, add the chopped pepper top; cook until tender. Add carrots, tomatoes, salt, pepper and spices . Cook the vegetable covered until the carrots are soft. Add quinoa and mix well.
For the adults:
Fill the bell peppers with stuffing; You can add diced fresh mozzarella or Gouda at this point. Place the pepper in a dish in a 375F oven until the outside of the peppers look soft.
For the baby:
Blend the left over stuffing and serve with a spoon.

Yum! Adding a little olive oil to this would get a little extra fat into Finn's diet.

Sounds good! My nine month old ate steamed brocolli tonight and she barely has one brand new tooth. She loved it!
